No. I log only the message-severity info and worse. I didn't increase the debuglevel because the server is under heavy load and even logging only severity info means lots of GB each day.

As I wrote above: I did a networktrace and saw that my server didn't send any packet to the forwarders (so it can't be a problem on the firewall-side).

And:
The problem is reproducible. If I add onother forward-zone I have the same problem. It isn't working till I add a NS-record according to that zone. No matter what the record is pointing to.
