No, this is the correct behaviour. See the DNS-HowTo. Here is an extract:
DNS is a hierarchical system. The top is written `.' and pronounced `root'.
[...]
$ nslookup
Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Start asking a root server.
> server c.root-servers.net.
Default Server: c.root-servers.net
Address: 192.33.4.12
Set the Query type to NS (name server records).
> set q=ns
Ask about edu.
> edu.
The trailing . here is significant, it tells the server we're asking
that edu is right under . (this narrows the search somewhat).
