This is one of the reasons why we recommend using 'dig' rather
than 'nslookup' as a diagnostic tool.
The error indicates that the reverse records for 192.168.1.50
could not be resolved using 192.168.1.50. This occurs even before
it attempts to process any queries from the command line.
Configure 192.168.1.50 as a server for 1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA and
add the appropriate PTR record for 50.
