Thanks you - the idea with /etc/resolv.conf was good - my nameserver
was localhost, after I change it to 127.0.0.1 nslookup stop to fail.
But if I remember correctly, I haven't this problem in the past (BIND9
from ports).
I just test it with an old nslookup binary (from ports BIND9) - there is no problem with
localhost as nameserver, this only affects the new one - something to
solve?
