nslookup resolved the .local addresses? That's surprising and might

I'm using inside my network a .local domain which is defined in a ZONE

Actually, that *IS* a problem. You should not be doing that. That is
quite likely the source of all your problems. That domain name is
reserved for a specific purpose and putting it in DNS will cause
conflicts.
Sorry, you're telling *BULLSHIT*; the TLD .local is exactly reserved for
this purpose ...
While that may have been the original intent Apple's Bonjour (mDNS)
decided to glom onto that tld, rendering its use problematic. Here's a
snippet from Wikipedia's entry on Multicast DNS:
"By default, mDNS only and exclusively resolves host names ending with
the .local top-level domain (TLD). This can cause problems if that
domain includes hosts which do not implement mDNS but which can be found
via a conventional unicast DNS server. Resolving such conflicts requires
network-configuration changes that violate the zero-configuration goal."
