I think your problem may be that xCAT took control of the 192.168.100.0
subnet, when you really just meant to inform xCAT about the network's
existence. As a result, DNS queries are not forwarded to the 192.168.100.1
DNS server that actually does know about this zone.

In our system, I have defined only the minimum number of attributes for the
external network:

Object name: hpcpublic
    mask=255.255.255.0
    mgtifname=eno2
    mtu=1500
    net=192.168.10.0
    usercomment=HPC Public Network

Don't put the gateway, nameserver or domain attributes into the public
network - those would tell xCAT that it should try to manage the network,
rather than just have information about it. I also found that having the
gateway entry in more than one network can cause routing headaches in some
scenarios (I'm not sure if it will cause that problem here).
