Re: nslookup only works

Hello,

nslookup says "servername for adress not found, non-existent domain".

I believe the exact wording is
"Can't find server name for address <IPAddressofDNSserver>"

This does not mean nslookup is not working, it means there is no reverse
lookup zone (or PTR) for the IP of the DNS server.
Create a reverse lookup zone and PTR for the DNS server's IP and the message
will go away.
