Non-existent host/domain ?

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	Turn on debugging in nslookup.

	Without the final period nslookup is applying the search list
	which is terminating early.  The debugging output will show you
	the query that is failing.

	Note: if a zone has detected a error when loading named will
	produce SERVFAIL for unknown names or queries for which records
	of the given type do not exist if they fall within the scope of
	the zone.  SERVFAIL terminates the search.
