Is it "dns1testa" or "dns1-testa"?  Not that it should matter, the IP
address is what counts.

Is dns1-testa actually a root for an isolated private internet?  Or
does it pass on queries that it can't resolve to the public Internet?
If the former, does it have zones for all of ".", "net", and
"testa-de.net"?

Have you tried making the subdomain server "forward only" to the
dns1-testa server?
