This works for me:

srk@vaio:~$ nslookup
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com
         origin = ns1.yahoo.com
         mail addr = hostmaster.yahoo-inc.com
         serial = 2005031824
         refresh = 3600
         retry = 300
         expire = 604800
         minimum = 600

It's possible that you hit a transient error in the upstream server(s), 
so worth checking again. If you still see the problem, the best way to 
proceed is to use ethereal to grab the DNS packets to and from dnsmasq 
and send the dump files to me. I'll take a look and see what's going on.


Cheers,

Simon.
