It should - but this mistake needs around 20 Seconds for timeout (we
stoppt the named completly):

*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from
server
Server:  
Address:  

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    htdig.org
Address:  216.136.171.204

This is the right way (without loopback) - and it works in the same
second: 

# nslookup htdig.org
Server:  
Address:  

Name:    htdig.org
Address:  216.136.171.204

SuSE Linux  2.4.0-4GB #1 Mon Jan 22 16:42:16 GMT 2001 i686 

I found, that I run an older version of htdig. I will upgrade to 3.1.6
first, before I ask any more questions.

It's our fault - nothing wrong with htdig. ;-)  
Thanks a lot.
