"Default servers are not available"

[Matthew Simpson]

I'm using BIND 8.2.2-p5 on a Linux 2.2.16 kernel.   The machine is
ns1.ectisp.net (63.162.42.30) and it is setup as a slave to chief.ectisp.net
(63.162.42.17).  

We are using this machine as the DNS for our dialup clients, and everything is
working fine.  It resolves names correctly.  However, if from a windows machine
you try to nslookup it says

** Can't find server name for address 63.162.42.30: Non-existent domain
** Default Servers are not available.

Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 63.162.42.30

>

if you lookup something, it works just fine.  If you lookup ns1.ectisp.net it
will work just fine.  ns1.ectisp.net is in chief.ectisp.net's DNS (NT DNS) and
is chief is authoritive for this domain.

However, try to plug 63.162.42.30 in a linux /etc/resolv.conf  and the linux
nslookup gives the same error, but will not go to the > prompt.   It will use
the nameserver, and everything works and resolves.

What is wrong?
