NSlookup

[Mark]

We have a domain spread over the UK all our servers run
DNS and have a zone deligated. When we install a server
at a site running NAT the nslookup fails to work and
defaults to the secondary DNS server. The error is "cant
find server name for address XX.XX.XX.XX: non existant
domain" where XX is the ip.

Does anyone have any idears please

This is just Nslookup trying to perform a reverse lookup on the IP of the
DNS address. You can ignore this or create a reverse lookup zone and PTR
record.

To add to Kevin's comment... I would not recommend that you add a reverse
lookup zone just to resolve this issue. It would be much less trouble to
simply ignore the message.

Stop using nslookup.  Use better tools.
