Here's the output of both nslookup and dig

nslookup :

Default Server:  cs.earlham.edu
Address:  159.28.230.3

> ibm.net
Server:  cs.earlham.edu
Address:  159.28.230.3

Name:    ibm.net.cs.earlham.edu


dig :


; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> ibm.net
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

                                        1H              ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        4H )            ; minimum

I hope that will help to debug the problem

Thanks a lot,
