My nslookup appears to have dropped dead.  I'm sure it used to work. 

For example:

matrix:/etc[6]:cat resolv.conf
domain          uh.edu
nameserver      129.7.1.19
nameserver      129.7.1.12
nameserver      129.7.1.11
matrix:/etc[7]:nslookup uh.edu
Server:  matrix
Address:  0.0.0.0

*** Request to matrix timed-out
matrix:/etc[8]:nslookup matrix.bchs.uh.edu
Server:  matrix
Address:  0.0.0.0

*** Request to matrix timed-out

But all other resolver functions work:

matrix:~[15]:ftp ftp.uu.net
Connected to ns.UU.NET.
421- ns FTP server (Version 5.91 Fri Mar 16 11:36:35 EST 1990) not available.


And of course ftp.uu.net and ns.uu.net are not in my host table.


Any ideas?  I don't have the $$ for customer support, so I can't
upgrade or ask MIPS (and the machine is out of its 90-day warranty
period, sigh).


thanks in advance,
dan
