Hey Wash, The trailing dot did the trick. I wasn't using parameters though, I used nslookup as a console. Something like: C:\dos-prompt>nslookup nslookup prompt>2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org The problem is gone now. Thanks! :) On 6 August 2010 10:37, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi geeks,

I'm trying to do DNSBL lookups using Spamhaus Zen on my command prompt, but I am having one problem, when I enter the reversed IP address followed by zen.spamhaus.org, nslookup appends .co.ke to spamhaus.org, so that 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org becomes 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org.co.ke

How do I stop this? I am using Redmondware for servers version 2003.

Heheee, Redmonware for servers ver 2003 :-)

Please show us your cli arguments please...

You might want to try terminating the server name with a dot, i.e. 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org*.*<- This trailing dot is what I mean.
