What directory were you in when you started named?  That's the "." directory.

ibmwp1 is what it was trying to look up, and it was told that
193.101.111.20 is the address of a server that should be authoritative for
the technodat.co.at domain, but when it queried that server it got a
non-authoritative response.  Look up "Lame delegation" in the DNS & BIND
book.

I'm not sure why it thinks that 193.101.111.20 is the server for that
domain, though.  When I look up the technodat.co.at domain, I get the
following information:

;; ANSWERS:
technodat.co.at.	345600	NS	ns.austria.eu.net.
technodat.co.at.	345600	NS	ds5000.technodat.co.at.

;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
ns.austria.eu.net.	1800	A	192.92.138.35
ds5000.technodat.co.at.	345600	A	193.81.3.151

193.101.111.20 is NS03.DE.UU.NET.
