I am in the closing stages of setting up my internet gateway for DNS.

The address of the primary name server is 203.28.84.11

When I run nslookup to check things out, it's ok if I specify a
server address of 0, but fails if I give the 'real' address of
203.28.84.11

bash$ nslookup - 0
Default Server:  kimba.abseil.com.au
Address:  0.0.0.0

>

bash$ nslookup - 203.28.84.11
*** Can't find server name for address 203.28.84.11: Non-existent host/domain
*** Default servers are not available
bash$

Can anybody suggest a likely cause for the above ?
