reverse lookup on local IP (10.0.0.1)?

[alex]

Does anyone know whether I should be able to nslookup my local IP?

I have a small network set up as 10.x.x.x, and dial in to an ISP.
My caching nameserver is on 10.0.0.1.
If I try (from the 10.0.0.1 machine) to nslookup 10.0.0.1, I get:

-> Server:  localhost
-> Address:  127.0.0.1

-> *** localhost can't find 10.0.0.1: Non-existent host/domain

Shouldn't I be able to resolve 10.0.0.1 to a name?

Here's /etc/resolv.conf:
order hosts,bind
multi on

Here's /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1       localhost               mydnshost.mydom.org
10.0.0.1        mydnshost.mydom.org     mydnshost
10.0.0.2        otherhost.mydom.org     otherhost


Thanks for your help.
