Either fix the zone or make the nameserver 127.0.0.1.
Hopefully, that zone is correct.
BTW, this is an nslookup issue. It doesn't affect your ability to
resolve hostnames with the resolver. nslookup requires you  be able to
resolve your server's address to a hostname, a ping or telnet isn't
going to require that.
