You told it to look up macrospace.com specifically using dns2.macrospace.com

dns2.macrospace.com doesn't appear to be online.

I would expect nslookup to behave as it did.  What would you have it do
differently?



$ ping -c 1 dns2.macrospace.com
PING dns2.macrospace.com (80.85.65.163): 56 data bytes

----dns2.macrospace.com PING Statistics----
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
