They are not valid for your purpose, as you can see:
C:\Documents and Settings\noel>nslookup
Default Server: ns9.attbi.com
Address: 204.127.202.19
> server 216.168.225.173
Default Server: ns43.worldnic.com
Address: 216.168.225.173
> set q=mx
> yahoo.com
Server: ns43.worldnic.com
Address: 216.168.225.173
(root) nameserver = A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root) nameserver = M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
What you want is something like:
> yahoo.com
Server: [204.127.202.19]
Address: 204.127.202.19
Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com
When you run nslookup, it will start by giving you the address of its
default DNS server. At the least, you should be able to try that one.
