If your resolv.conf has:

nameserver 10.3.2.2

Why does nslookup say that it is querying server 10.2.2.254?  Is your 
system multi-homed?  Try changing resolv.conf to use 127.0.0.1, If your 
using bind, and you specifiy 127.0.0.1 I believe it will use local 
sockets instead of the IP stack for the query.

I would try dig (from the bind-utils package) You want to make sure that 
either your local server is authoritative for mydomain.com and for the 
reverse domain.  This is confirmed by the 'aa' flag from dig (not sure 
of nslookup can do this). If it is not authoritative, then it must 
delegate to another nameserver that is.  You should also get back a 
proper SOA record for both.  Lack of proper authoritative SOA records 
for both your forward (mydomain.com) and reverse domains will cause the 
server to try to go out to the Internet for further resolution.  If 
there is no internet access, this will hang.  Even if you don't populate 
the reverse domain with records, it must still be authoritative.  
Minimally, I suggest a simple script to generate reverse entries for all 
of the ip addresses in your address space.

dig mydomain.com soa @127.0.0.1

dig 2.2.10.in-addr.arpa.  soa @127.0.0.1
