Markus,
To be sure, you know that nslookup and dig do NOT use the search 
parameter in /etc/resolv.conf.  So when you do an nslookup or dig query, 
you have to use the fully qualified domain name(FQDN).

PING uses the search parameter in /etc/resolv.conf, so that can be a 
source of confusion for you.

You have not posted your named.conf or the contents of any local zone 
files you may be using.  Those are important for troubleshooting this issue.

It would appear that you setup the dyndns client on your debian box to 
update feldland.dyndns.org.  But how and where do you update the other 
two?  www.feldland.dyndns.org and test.feldland.dyndns.org

Or did you forget to create those at dyndns.org?
