Just a hint: nslookup is an old, depreciated program that is best not used. The main issues is those redundant reverse dns lookups on the dns server's addresses, which creates noise. The program is also depreciated by it's authors, BIND. The replacements are host, which does a quick lookup of the provided address or IP, and dig, which provides more complete info.
Of course, nslookup is the only option on Windows boxen, which is typical!
