I don't know what's going on here, but ns1.dyndns.org doesn't know anything
about the zone or is not allowing queries.

However, what I do find strange is that using my own server what gets
returned is an SOA record.

H:\bind9bin>dig a uni-regensburg.de

What you are really looking for is rrzs2.rz.uni-regensburg.de and not
>rrzc2.rz.uni-regensburg.de which doesn't exist in the domain.
