	That's an old version of nslookup, which tried to do a reverse 
lookup of the nameservers configured in /etc/resolv.conf, and if that 
fails for all the servers so listed, it refuses to run.

	Short answer -- don't use nslookup, use dig instead. 
Alternatively, remove the old version of nslookup (or disable it so 
that it can no longer be executed) and replace it with the version of 
nslookup which comes with BIND 8.
