As an aside, nslookup has its uses, but it is unreliable for actually
checking resolvability of a given name at a specific host.  This is
because it uses its own internal resolution routines rather than the
system resolver.  Whenever you get a discrepancy between what nslookup
reports and what an application sees, double check with dig or another
tool.
