When you do tell a system "nslookup mammalia.org", the only
thing it is going to return are "A" records (or CNAMEs, etc)
but this query will not show you the NS or MX entries.

What is it you want the server to return when you query this???

Have you tried "nslookup www.mammalia.org"?

Have you tried "nslookup -type=any mammalia.org"?
