	Don't use nslookup to obtain information from the DNS.  It does 
all sorts of evil things, including trying to do a reverse lookup of 
the IP address for the nameserver(s) it is using, and if that fails, 
it dies.

	Try using "dig" instead.


	Of course, you'll probably want to get reverse DNS for this IP 
address (and your others) fixed, so that you don't have these kinds 
of problems.  Indeed, broken reverse DNS is probably still one of the 
single biggest problems on the 'net these days.  Sigh....
