Automatically creating reverse lookup zones? Can't remember if it
creates one for the DNS servers current subnet - but even so... it'd be
a neat trick if it could do it for all the subnets you'd likely require.

At this point, nslookup is merely trying to provide the name of the DNS
server configured (ie it's IP address) - which implies either the
default for AD zones is not even to create a "default" reverse lookup
zone for this DNS server's current subnet (as I said, it's been a while,
and I can't remember), and one hasn't been created manually - or it's
not an AD integrated zone, and one hasn't been created manually, or it's
a broken reverse lookup zone.

In any of the cases, it's slightly distractionary, anyways, as merely
not being able to do a reverse lookup, doesn't necessarily mean that a
forward lookup would fail.

Likely there's more than one thing wrong, here. set debug is your
friend.
