Do you have a A record associate with server1? The host command should 
have given you something like this

host alias1
alias1.altum.de is an alias for server1.
server1 has address 192.168.1.1

Preferable it should look like this if server1 is joined to the domain.

host alias1
alias1.altum.de is an alias for server1.altum.de.
server1.altum.de has address 192.168.1.1
