You don't have a nameserver set up to handle the reverse addess for
127.0.0.1. You need a 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zone on your nameserver.
This is one of the major reasons for not using nslookup since it's
trying to get the name of the server that you are using rather than trying
to answer your query.  Use dig.
