You defined a referrer as in "look for ns1 on ns1.std-service.com". MyDNS returns the referral and the IP address to query next, as it is authoritative for this zone. Otherwise the client issuing the client would have to possibility to know its IP. > But there is no cname record in the files: instead there is a configuration: > ns1 604800 IN NS 0 ns1.std-service.com. > in the sql base. There is no CNAME record returned. What makes you think like that? There's a semi-colon commenting that one out. > When this record is deactivted the respose is (correct): > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;ns1.std-service.com.

Then the authority section of the parent is returned. But there's no referral at all, so even this is correct. > The wrong behaviour makes it impossible to use it for the .de TLD because the > DENIC > rejectes requests for a domain based on a namesserver with the first > response.

You fed MyDNS invalid data (invalid as in wrong expectations from your side). MyDNS is quite RFC-compliant. Apart from that you wanted ". 604800 IN NS 0 ns1.std-service.com".
