How do you "use nslookup"?

If nslookup 'yourhost.yourdomain.com' gives IP address 12.34.56.78, 
then that's only half of what's needed. 'nslookup 12.34.56.78' must 
also give 'yourhost.yourdomain.com' (ideally) or at least *some* domain 
name.

BTW, 'nslookup' is deprecated, 'host' and/or 'dig' is recommended 
instead. But that doesn't help you with your problem.
