At first sight, seems to a problem in the resolver used, more than
nameserver configuration.

You should check /etc/resolv.conf, and look for a line beginning with
"nameserver". If you don't have it, you don't have a resolver to ask
for.

To check your nameserver configuration, try this:

dig -x 192.168.33.19 @0

to query your localhost directly.
