Here is a snippet of the error I get running nslookup.
C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.100.1.3: Non-existent domain
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.100.1.3

I have verified reverse lookup zone and didn't see anything wrong

TIA

Am I missing something?
10.x.x.x is a private address range and unless you have your in-house DNS server to resolve this address, you'll get this error and as such -it's normal.

Nslookup is trying to resolve the IP address 10.100.1.3 back to a host name. This requires a reverse lookup zone file to work and you'll need to create one. Read this article to understand more about reverse lookup:

Nslookup should function fine with that error though.
