Yes. If (localhost) is the top entry in /etc/resolv.conf, then nslookup will default to querying the local server. In this case the host is the DNS server as well as the WWW server, so the command "nslookup - myserver.com" is relatively equivalent to "nslookup - localhost" or a default query of the local BIND. However, no matter how you slice it, I still can't "find myself."
