After you get these messages from nslookup, will the DNS servers answer any
queries?

These messages may or may not be a sign of a problem with the DNS server, it
could just mean there is no reverse lookup zone or PTR record. It would be a
sign of a bigger problem if the DNS server could answer no queries.
Is there a firewall?
You never did answer my question about forwarding configuration.
