Hello!

I have the problem that one of my namservers are missing the others IP (A-record). This is not a critical problem but I wonder how I can solve it.

Domain example: domain.com

dig ns1.domain.com

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ns1.domain.com. IN A


dig ns2.domain.com

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ns2.domain.com. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ns2.domain.com. 151646 IN A 195.238.10.1

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
domain.com. 171596 IN NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. 171596 IN NS ns2.domain.com.

As dig command reports, the ns2.domain.com is working as it should. But dig command to ns1.domain.com does not give a correct answer nor answer at all.

Where shall I start to fix this problem?

I do not see where either one is missing an A record.

That´s true, I didn´t remember to say that the error occurs in intervalls. Sometimes it working sometimes not. Try to repeat the dig command couple of times, and I think you will get a blank answer.
Where to start for searching the error?

Generally when nameservers sometimes resolve and sometimes don't, it's because they're not listed both at the registrar and in your authoritative zone file. Make sure your nameservers are registered with the registrar where the domain is registered.
