By NETSOL you mean Network Solutions?

I don't.  Do I have to before my DNS works?

My domains right now point to a working DNS.  I want to get my DNS server
working first and then change DNS record at Network Solutions, to provide
uninteraptable service to my domains.

I know that by using 'nslookup <somename> <mydnsname>' I explicitly force to
use <mydnsname> as DNS server for <somename>.  As I said before, it works
with localhost or 127.0.0.1 in place of <mydnsname> (even for fake
<somename> not registered anywhere but listed in my DNS), but does not work
when I use real IP address assigned to my machine instead of localhost.  And
I can't understand why or how to troubleshoot it.

Thanks,
Denis
