'm using nslookup on Windows. Why does each response point to your server at resolver1.opendns.com, with address 208.67.222.222, instead of to the domain in question?

nslookup, on Windows computers, appends the default local domain name of the Windows machine to the query. You can work around this by appending a trailing period to the domain(s) you request.

Example:
Instead of nslookup www.craigslist.org
you should use nslookup www.craigslist.org.

Note the trailing period after the .org — critical.
