  ^^ nslookup can't find your nameserver....
if yoy are running nameserver yourself it may be misconfigured, if you are
using ISP's nameserver make sure you are pointing to it

/etc/host.conf 
order hosts,bind
multi on

/etc/resolve.conf
search YourDomain.tld
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 5.6.7.8

/etc/hosts ahould also have your base domain name and it's ip address so
the machine can resolve itself while it's getting started ...

Probably these got left pointing elsewhere...
(if you are running nameserver on machine these should be your own IP's)

ps: dig is batter than nslookup for this sort of thing when you don';t get
any resilt from nslookup, nslookup makes some assumptions when you don't
give it any options....
