This looks like the DNS settings on your other server, chienandalusia 
(192.168.0.3), is not setup correctly.  Check /etc/resolv.conf on this 
server, and be sure the first nameserver is:
nameserver      192.168.0.2

In fact on this server you should have only that entry, as your server at 
192.168.0.2 should forward any other unknown DNS requests upstream to the 
forwarders.
