Help with reverse lookup file.

[Danny Mayer]

		What''s in the resolv.conf file on the system on which you are running
nslookup.
  This file resides in /etc and needs to contain the domain name and a list
of nameserver
  IP addresses.  It looks like this:

domain memeticcandiru.com
nameserver 10.0.0.2
nameserver 10.0.0.3

		I just went through this getting the tools to run on NT and this turned
out to
  be the reason that it nslookup wasn't able to do anything.  nslookup
needs to find
  a nameserver to ship the requests to.  nslookup also needs to be able to do
  reverse name lookups so it can get the nameserver name from the IP address.
  Dig doesn't require the latter step.
