Strangely, putting a dns for the local zone (and forwarder for the rest) improves the situation.
No cannot monitor in kern.log anymore ...

The lockd: cannot monitor messages are due to the kernel being unable
to communicate with the rpc.statd process. That usually indicates
that the rpc.statd is not running, possibly due to it crashing.
NFS is a stateless protocol. But file locks are inherently stateful.
To maintain file locks some auxilary programs are used such as the
rpc.statd.
Check that the rpc.statd is running.
ps -e | grep rpc.statd
It is started from the nfs-common service. You may have to restart
it.
# service nfs-common restart
Problems with NFS locking has been a problem forever.

This has nothing to do with host names or DNS resolution.

No. Not for NFS. But generally it is always a good idea that names
resolve to addresses and the reverse of resolving addresses to names
also works.
