Okay. First of all, I hope you are aware of the difference between an
authoritative name server and a (recursive) resolver? NSD is an
authoritative name server.

It is.

I do not really know the nslookup tool. What are the contents of
"/etc/resolve.conf[.tail]", what are the results of "ifconfig lo" and
"netstat -anf inet[6]"?

Both results look the same (although probably generated by a different
tool?) and tell you, that recursion is not allowed.

If you would please elaborate a bit about your setup and what you're
intending to achieve, then I would probably tell you that you should
use unbound (a resolver) instead of NSD (an authoritative name server).
