Your nslookup syntax is wrong. If you want the A record, just do 'nslookup hostname.domain.tld'. If you want the reverse lookup, do 'nslookup 10.70.63.21'. <br />

You tried to do a lookup on a non-existant zone.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have internal users who are unable to resolve internal IP address's which are A records that point them to systems that run at our remote site. I am unable to ping or tracert to the internal address's. However if I change the A record entry and route over the internet it is okay and they can connect. When I attempt to do a nslookup on my client I am receiving this, which I have never seen before.<br />
<br />
C:\Users\Seth&gt;nslookup<br />
21.63.70.10.in-addr.arpa<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; primary name server = localhost<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; responsible mail addr = nobody.inval<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; serial &nbsp;= 1<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; refresh = 600 (10 mins)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; retry &nbsp; = 1200 (20 mins)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; expire &nbsp;= 604800 (7 days)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; default TTL = 10800 (3 hours)<br />
Default Server: &nbsp;UnKnown<br />

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
