Thanks for many replies.
Jochen Bern email me the right answer.
The answer also shows on Sun Info Docs. #11975
4.6: nslookup Problems.
The infodoc suggests to call SunService to get a Bug filed.
Since the doc. is dated on Sept. 16, 1996, Sun may already
has the patch which I don't know.

Thanks for help.

You are running an old nslookup against a newer Nameserver (with a
certain Request Type, long deprecated as per the RFCs, disabled).
Preferrably replace your nslookup by a newer one, e.g., from the BIND
Distribution.

penthesilea:/home/TI/bern% /usr/local/etc/nslookup
Default Server: aurelia.uni-trier.de
Address: 136.199.55.62
> exit
penthesilea:/home/TI/bern% /usr/etc/nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 136.199.55.62: Not implemented
*** Can't find server name for address 136.199.8.101: Query refused
*** Can't find server name for address 136.199.8.129: Query refused

Regards,
J. Bern
