You need to look a little deeper next time:

% nslookup

115.31.3.209.in-addr.arpa       name = get.freebsd.because.microsoftsucks.net
31.3.209.IN-ADDR.ARPA   nameserver = dns1.vdi.net
31.3.209.IN-ADDR.ARPA   nameserver = dns2.vdi.net
dns1.vdi.net    internet address = 209.3.31.32
dns2.vdi.net    internet address = 209.3.31.31
> server DNS1.VDI.NET
Default Server:  DNS1.VDI.NET
