why nslookup could not find my domain?

I am running BIND-4.9.7 on an NT 4.0 platform. Both
the forward and reverse lookup tables are setup
correctly. From my network, when I do a ping to a host
within my network, it works fine. When I do a nslookup with
the same address, it works fine also.
When I try it from an external ISP and use
their DNS, pinging to the same host has no problem, yet
nslookup for that address failed to resolve the host name.
If I force the nslookup to use my DNS, then both ping and
nslookup will work from the external ISP. Is there
any reason why nslookup does not work for me from the
external ISP (or the Internet)?
I also noticed that there is a form called "in-addr.arpa"
registration form from Internic. I understand it is for reverse
address lookup but can someone help me to better
understand the purpose of this form and what would
happen if I have never submitted this form for our domain?
Thanks.
