	You need to set the option "type=mx" when asking your nameserver
about commodore.com machines; you can reach them by mail, but they aren't
really on the Internet.

	$ nslookup
	> cbmvax.commodore.com
	*** No address information is available for cbmvax.commodore.com
	> set type=mx
	> cbmvax.commodore.com
	cbmvax.commodore.com    preference = 20, mail exchanger = rutgers.EDU
	rutgers.EDU     inet address = 128.6.4.7
	rutgers.EDU     inet address = 128.6.21.9
