For example, I can do nslookup microsoft.com and get this:

Script started on Thu Apr 27 13:30:12 2000
Server:  localhost.org
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    microsoft.com
Addresses:  207.46.131.30, 207.46.130.14, 207.46.130.149, 207.46.130.45
	  207.46.131.137

Or nslookup ibm.com:

Server:  localhost.org
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ibm.com
Address:  129.34.139.30

Why won't nslookup mammalia.org give me anything?
