[SPARCbook] Silly Nameserver Problem

[Eric Busto]

G'day folks,
   I have a Linux box, with the IP 10.0.0.1, acting as a masquerading 
gateway to the internet for the boxen on my LAN, composed of my sparcbook 
and various other computers.  On the Linux box, I have named running, for 
its caching behavior, such that DNS queries wont' be sent out over the 
dialup interface if they're already cached on the Linux box.  So on my 
sparcbook, I fire up nslookup and do the following..
>www.doot.org 10.0.0.1
blah blah.. the Linux box returns the correct IP and everything looks good.  
However, when I add "nameserver 10.0.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf on the 
sparcbook, and then try and nslookup from the command line such as this:
su-2.01# nslookup www.doot.org
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.1: Non-existent host/domain

Anyone know why it works fine from within nslookup, but when nslookup uses 
the /etc/resolv.conf entry, it complains?  Note that if I replace 10.0.0.1 
with the IP address of my ISP's nameserver, the query goes out over the 
dialup interface, and returns the correct information back to the sparcbook. 
  Also, there is an entry in /etc/hosts for 10.0.0.1

Any help is much appreciated.
