Do you think my question is unimportant?
Does nslookup resolve any queries after the initial "can't find server name
for address 192.168.25.40"?
Nslookup reports this message because it is performing a reverse lookup on
the DNS server IP address.

Also, you have a second IP address that is not on the same subnet, it has no
gateway, and as DNS servers often do, that will try to connect to the
primary from this second address, which causes zone transfers to fail. You
should not have IP address on the same NIC on different subnets.
