Well, it's syslog ;-)

No one knows what the syslog messages mean - they're constructed inside the Obihai program that calls syslog and, in the absence of the source code, we can only guess at what this means.

Guessing... PROV probably means provisioning; it's probably trying to contact an Obihai server that your DNS server doesn't know about (e.g. one that is internal to Obihai.)
