I recently have my ISP setting up virtual nameservers for me. The direct and
reverse DNS are correctly shown when checked with NSLOOKUP:
$NSLOOKUP ns1.updnnetwork.net >> 216.98.150.25
$NSLOOKUP 216.98.150.25 >> ns1.updnnetwork.net
(NS2 not shown in example)

I then requested for a domain transfer. The domain registrar of my country
rejected my application saying that my nameservers are not in order:

% nslookup -q=any upoint.net.my 216.98.150.25
*** Can't find server name for address 216.98.150.25: Non-existent
host/domain
*** Default servers are not available

1) What does "-q=any" for? The query result is negative when it is added to
NSLOOKUP.

2) What is actually wrong with the nameservers?

3) How do I solve this problem?

Thanks.

Sounds like a local problem on your box and not your DNS server. When I do it here is what I get:



# nslookup -q=any upoint.net.my 216.98.150.25
Server: ns1.updnnetwork.net
Address: 216.98.150.25


upoint.net.my internet address = 208.56.75.199
upoint.net.my nameserver = ns1.updnnetwork.net
upoint.net.my nameserver = ns2.updnnetwork.net
upoint.net.my nameserver = ns1.zoneedit.com
upoint.net.my nameserver = ns5.zoneedit.com
upoint.net.my
origin = ns1.updnnetwork.net
mail addr = dnsadmin.dnsvr.com
