Are the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf recursive resolvers? Since name resolution works when using your own local nameserver it sounds like the remote ones may be misbehaving.

yes, for example, i tried these two:
resolver1.recursivedns.net.     63.208.196.113
resolver2.recursivedns.net.     63.208.196.114

which are definitely recursive DNS-servers; but when i type

host -v www.zufallslink.de 63.208.196.113

i get this "incomplete" answer:

Received 247 bytes from 63.208.196.113#53 in 113 ms

the strange thing is, that i didn´t change my configuration(knowingly). all of a sudden, it stopped working.

thanks, florian
