Sorry, was not aware of that. So let me try again....

Doing a "dig www.zur-sonne.it +nostats +nocomments +nocmd @localhost" I 
(think) get correct result:


; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-26.P2.el7_9.5 <<>> www.zur-sonne.it 
+nostats +nocomments +nocmd @localhost
;; global options: +cmd
;www.zur-sonne.it.              IN      A
www.zur-sonne.it.       10800   IN      CNAME cms-v2.sihosting.cloud.

And nslookup can not resolve cms-v2.sihosting.cloud as I pointed it to 
localhost to query from. Correct?
Where is the stick I could hit myself? Feeling stupid....Should not do 
this with more than 30° Celsius temperature.

Thanks and sorry for the noise,
Thomas
