If you are doing your 'nslookup' from on this machine, then it will
look at the "nameserver" line, and query itself.

If the domain is "idefix.de" and the search line is the same, and the
machine is itself authoritative for that domain ... then it should be
resolving the query itself.  I am not at all sure what is happening.
And I don't have time to track it down.

Since your "search" line is redundant to your "domain" line, why don't
you remove the "search" line [incidentally pleasing those who believe
that it is inherently evil], stop and re-start your 'named', and see if
anything changes?

Also, use 'dig' or set "debug" and "db2" on 'nslookup', to get a better
idea of what is actually happening.  And let us know.
