>> upstream_servers = {}
>> upstream_servers["my.tv."] = "10.10.1.1"   # master NS for
>> TV. zone
>> upstream_servers["."] = "192.168.1.1,"     # for other ns
>> upstream_servers["."] += "192.168.1.2"     # for other ns

This looks good.  Since you're using the += operator, make sure you're
using Deadwood 3.0.01 (+= had problems in 2.9 releases of Deadwood)

>> when nslookup my.tv

The nslookup output you're giving us doesn't tell us enough to fix
your problem.  Things *should* work with the above configuration (if
it didn't, Deadwood 3.0.01 would not have been released because it
would have failed the dwood2rc_d_upstream_servers test).

It's a good idea to use "dig" instead of nslookup.  Dig is included
with any modern Linux/BSD/whatever distribution.  If using Windows,
install Dig for Windows.  Directions are here:

Please show us the full "dig" output for the queries you sent us.
