Just so there will be no misunderstandings, you _can_ use nslookup without
a _local_ DNS running but you of course need to have a DNS server
reachable somewhere nearby. Normally when you run nslookup it will check
/etc/resolv.conf to see what name server to use but you can also specify
the server IP address on either the command line or in interactive mode
with the "server" command.

Splitting hair? Yes, but that's better than someone getting the wrong
idea...
