Does the server have two eithernet/ip address? Make sure that you do not 
deny the recursive queries in the configuration file for the clients 
network from where you are tring to run the nslookup queries.
If you have "dig"  tools installed, try "dig @<dns server ip> <domain 
name> and it should give a bit more detailed information

Please do not get confused with the terms "Authoritative Name Server for  
a domain" and the DNS server used to resolve dns queries.
