Sorry, but this question has nothing to do with PowerDNS at all.

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.

Try using the Linux version of nslookup and you'll see the difference:

# nslookup solit.nl ns1.globe.hosting
Server:        ns1.globe.hosting
Address:    5.44.79.65#53

Name:    solit.nl
Address: 5.44.79.60


The above example was run on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, which has the nslookup 
from bind 9.11.3

# which nslookup
/usr/bin/nslookup
# dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/nslookup
dnsutils: /usr/bin/nslookup
# dpkg-query -l dnsutils

HTH,

Brian.
