Hi the problem is when you do an nslookup on xxx.xx.xxx.xxx nslookup expects that that ip address will reverse resolve into a domain name I assume that the ip address are your ISPyou need to asked them to add some pointers for reverse lookups as you can't do that as that netblock is probably under there control
you could ask then to add say xxx.xx.xxx.xxx-ADDR.ARPA PTR=ns.yourdomain.com and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy-ADDR.ARPA PTR=ns2.yourdomain.com and that will fix that
