hmm, I just tried something else from a remote server that has the
troublesome pdns server as its primary nameserver:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 172.13.1.1
nameserver 172.13.1.2

If I use nslookup on that box, exactly the same as described above
happens. But this time nslookup is on a Mandriva 2010.0 installation, so
I doubt that this is a nslookup problem now ...
