One of the servers, dkuug.dk (195.215.30.66) is Lame ( not configured as
slave )

You  also use rediculasly short TTL's which may cause caches to
loose information early. These days with notify makes short "general" TTL
unneeded.
See RIPE-recommendations for "suitable TTL"

"I ask another client" ?? You mean you try in this client or do you mean
that you direct the question to this client ? ( if there is no nameserver
running on this client it _will_ be refused)

Oh, nslookup is dead. Just bury it somwhere where noone will use it.

Use proper tools, like dig host doc dnswalk zonecheck dns-expert etc.
Example with dig shows :
(question is "who does reverse for 193.88.72 " :
> dig 72.88.193.in-addr.arpa ns

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> 72.88.193.in-addr.arpa ns 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

;; QUERY SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
72.88.193.in-addr.arpa.  23h48m IN NS  dkuug.dk.
72.88.193.in-addr.arpa.  23h48m IN NS  teapot.netman.dk.
72.88.193.in-addr.arpa.  23h48m IN NS  tinderbox.netman.dk.
72.88.193.in-addr.arpa.  23h48m IN NS  ns.dknet.dk.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns.dknet.dk.            23h47m50s IN A  193.88.44.42
dkuug.dk.               23h47m40s IN A  195.215.30.66

Again, dkuug.dk answers Lame ( not authorative ) :
> dig 72.88.193.in-addr.arpa ns @dkuug.dk.

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> 72.88.193.in-addr.arpa ns @dkuug.dk. 
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

Which suggest that you either fix dkuug or remove from 
delegation records.
