Bind on your spider box doesn't know how to look up domains ending in .lan
(it looks up .uk, then co.uk, then domain.co.uk, each time finding a new
server which hosts it).
The easiest solution will probably be to slave your .lan domain on spider,
the cleaner solution may be to have spider master both domains and your
desktop slave them.
This is close to what I do (actually I just use one domain for internal
and external IPs (and IPv6)) but I have an actual box on the net so my
gateway slaves off that and my desktop doesn't run bind at all.
