PowerDNS server with recursion enabled is resolving all addresses except for *.compute.internal

The server is running in AWS and has 10.30.0.2 as it's nameserver.

The following queries (testing the AWS Name Server) return the correct result:

dig ip-10-20-17-38.ap-southeast-2.compute.internal @10.30.0.2
dig www.google.com @10.30.0.2

Querying arbitrary public DNS entries directly against my DNS server is also successful:

dig www.google.com @127.0.0.1
dig www.serverfault.com @127.0.0.1

However querying compute.internal addresses fails with an NXDOMAIN status:

dig ip-10-20-17-38.ap-southeast-2.compute.internal @127.0.0.1

It looks like *.compute.internal addresses are not recursing to the default DNS server (10.30.0.2), but all other addresses are. What could explain this behaviour?
