<p>Sorry, but this question has nothing to do with PowerDNS at all.</p>
<p>Firstly, nslookup is part of the bind suite of tools, and the
behaviour is local to nslookup. Secondly, you are using Windows,
which has Microsoft's obsolete and forked version of
bind/nslookup.</p>
<p>Try using the Linux version of nslookup and you'll see the
difference:</p>
# nslookup solit.nl ns1.globe.hosting<br>
Server: ns1.globe.hosting<br>
Address: 5.44.79.65#53<br>
<br>
Name: solit.nl<br>
Address: 5.44.79.60<br>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The above example was run on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, which has the
nslookup from bind 9.11.3</p>
<p># which nslookup<br>
/usr/bin/nslookup<br>
# dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/nslookup<br>
dnsutils: /usr/bin/nslookup<br>
# dpkg-query -l dnsutils<br>
