after some troubleshoting with tcpdump I saw that no reqests were send
when I used .local domains! And after some more googling I stumbeled
upon post [1] saying that avahi is the problem and that it graps and
.local queries!

After shuting down avahi service everything started working!

Thank you all for your great effort in helping me!
