try starting nslookup and then doing a
server 1.2.3.4
I'll bet it works then. I ran into this, and I think it was because the
DNS I had setup was giving a different IP for the domain name I was in. In
other words 1.2.3.4 was saying it was ns.yourdom.com whereas
ns.yourdom.com actually resolves (through some other server or
mechanism) to some other IP. Or the same problem but with a reverse
lookup. At least that's what I remember.
