nslookup sucks. What it's doing here is implementing a "searchlist" 
after the initial query failed. Apparently you have a wildcard entry for 
*.mydomain.net, so the searchlist matches that.

The trailing period prevents the "searchlist" logic. Your basic problem 
is that "www.google.com" is not resolving. Did you delegate the parts of 
the namespace you want to selectively forward, as I recommended in my 
last message?
