nslookup requires that reverse lookup works.
reverse lookup reqires an in-addr.arpa file
if you reverse your ip number, say your ip 1.2.3.4
Then you shoud be able to execute
dig 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa and get a resonable result.
In bind these are called PTR records.
Do you have the book? DNS and BIND?
