you can also use "host", as it simpler and usually gives you what you 
need, unless you need to debug DNS itself.

I have it already explained: It's a problem of nslookup. Either you 
will have the PTR, or you will have the error. No other way.

There are too many different versions of "nslookup" program within 
different systems, made by different perogrammers.  It's just useless 
to "fix" nslookup, because that is how nslookup works and that's why we 
advise you to use "host" or "dig".
