One way to stop this error is to edit /etc/resolv.cong and put his in it
search your.domain
nameserver 127.0.0.1
then restart named the next time you run nslookup it should show you
default server: localhost
address 127.0.0.1
this gives you a caching only name server. To configure a name server for
your 192.168.1.0 range easily you can get webmin from
http://www.webmin.com and use it if you want to avoid the hassle of
creating zone files however I recommend setting up the files yourself that
way you actually get to understand how it works exactly.
basically you will need a zone file for the domain you're using on your
network and a reverse file for reverse lookups of ips to names.
