Operating Systems Solaris I am too young not to be able to resolve myself...nslookup problem (no DNS available) Post 90189 by mschwage on Sunday 20th of November 2005 01:32:09 AM

This is one of the reasons why nslookup is deprecated in Linux. It uses its own libraries, not the same ones practically everything else on the box uses! That is, nslookup *will* use DNS- no matter what, even if you don't have it on the machine. It's hardcoded.

This is different behavior than the host resolution of, say, the ping command. That's why your nslookup will not work but your ping will. So you'll need to stick to ping for your testing.
