I usually get confused about nslookup's syntax, so I look for the 'easy'
ways out. One is to use the services of netinfo.berkeley.edu on port 117
via telnet (telnet netinfo.berkeley.edu 117). Dig has proven especially
useful, and is used by the folks at the NIC more than nslookup, it seems.
And then there's a 'simple' (for somebody) trick that you can use in your
login profiles:
alias ptr echo \!$ \| awk -F. \'\{printf \"set q=PTR\\n%s.%s.%s.%s.in-addr.arpa\\n\",\$4,\$3,\$2,\$1\}\' \| nslookup
(If the above lines didn't wrap right, and someone's really interested
in this, let me know and I'll send it over).
