nslookup prompt...



Hey all,

I have kind of a strange situation on my home system.

I have named running for my home network and all lookups and queries run just 
fine.  The odd part is, if I type 'nslookup <address>' it then gives me the ">" 
prompt.  I will enter the address again and it errors out because the system at 
<address> is not running a DNS.  Almost like it will not assume my linux box 
is where I want to query to...

If I simply type 'nslookup' and hit enter to get the ">" and then type in 
<address> my Linux box spits the information I wanted originally.  My 
resolve.conf has "nameserver 127.0.0.1 <next DNS> <last DNS>".

Why can I not simply type 'nslookup <unknownmachine>' and get back what I 
am hunting for?
