besides the fact that when you think "nslookup" is the solution for 
anything you don't know your problem you did not understand my simple 
question:

"dig" or "nslookup" or whatever is just a client talking to a dns server 
on port 53 - that's it - it won't debug your server and if it would be 
able to do so your server would leak informations classified as security 
hole which needs to be closed
