It's quite odd that nslookup isn't agreeing with glibc's name
resolution code. I suspect that the problem lies with systemd, which
has relentlessly continued its campaign to break everything in sight,
and has lately gotten its fingers into name resolution as well:

Perhaps something on that page will help you figure out what's up.
My guess based on what you've said here is that nslookup and glibc
are not using the same DNS search path. Traditionally that would be
set by a "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf, but ghod knows how it's
determined under systemd-resolved.
