I'm using straight 1.2 on a group of sparc machines without
	any problems.
	I replicated your setup as closely as possible
		domain saturn.tlug.org
		nameserver 138.40.17.10
	and it worked fine.

	Are you sure 192.168.0.1 is running a valid nameserver that is
	responding to the dns requests?

	You might want to try running tcpdump -n while trying an nslookup.
