You can't. You have no way of knowing what aliases, if any, the rest
of the world might have in their zone files for the name you're
interested in. Even if you could do that, whatever information you got
would be out of date by the time it had been collected. And please
stop using nslookup. Use dig. Consult the list archives for an
explanation.
