It is not too surprising if this is also subject to the default suffix
list of the network "connection", which initialises the resolution
context, and then just overrides the server.  Have you tried:

    nslookup -type=ns com. 9.9.9.9

with an explicit trailing "."?

But the result should have been for "com.<your-default-suffix>."
What happens when you configure the network connection with a default
suffix of "."?
