It is hard for us to help without the actual message.

Anyways, nslookup often gives messages that don't accurately convey what
it should mean. You should use a different tool like dig, host, dnsquery,
Knoble's hostinfo (or maybe my simple -- but useful -- gethost tool).

Have a look at my http://www.reedmedia.net/misc/dns/errors.html
Maybe it has the details about the error you're having.
