I wanted to reply to my post but I made a mess of it.
Sorry for that, maybe someone can delete my own reply without the whole message as a quote.
It may be strange for a newbie like me to go and try to setup servers, but it facinates me.
What I don't understand is that my local dns sever worked fine under Ubuntu, so what's the difference with Debian.
I'm not lazy, but some hints or good links would be great.
The problem lies definitly in using the www. prefix, I think that because it's a name intended for the web it get's forwarded.
Anyway let me show the content of the configuration files I've got.
Code:
named.conf.local:
zone "virtual.lan" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.virtual.lan";
};
zone "10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/db.10.168.192";
};
// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
Code:
db.virtual.lan:
;
; ZONE file for virtual.lan

@ IN NS debian.virtual.lan.
debian IN A 192.168.10.35

I can now ping debian.virtual.lan
Code:
ping debian.virtual.lan

The lesson learned don't use www in your local domain!
Thanks for the replies, they are much appreciated.

Reason: wrong layout
The lesson learned don't use www in your local domain!
Not at all. Add an A record for www and it will resolve.
The catch is to use the dns that is authoritative for the domain virtual.lan (that is 192.168.10.35). You should add it first in /etc/resolv.conf
