Your setup does not work as you see above: zypper cannot find your
source RPM.

Correct, byt you tried to install a source RPM:
"We tried to install the srcpackage".

> If the nrpe srcpackage is on DVD2 (what I assume) then "zypper search" must not find nrpe srcpackage as the metadata of DVD1 should not contain any (src)packages from DVD2. Or am I getting anything wrong?

The meta data on DVD1 contains all RPMs of that product,
regardless on which DVD it is. This is the case since over
15 years for all products shipped on multiple medias and hasn't
changed.
And if your installation setup would be correct (DVD1 and DVD2
at the end of the URL), zypper could switch correctly between
the medias. If you burn the ISO images to a media, zypper will
ask you to switch the DVD.
