I had that problem some time ago, and that what I found in the archives:
-----------------------------
Hello,I have found a little bug in caching-nameserver-1.1-1.
If I enter 'nslookup' without any parameters, I get
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Non-existent
host/domain
(This, of course, implies that the system runs with the caching name
server.)
The solution:
In the last line of /var/named/named.local, it says
---------------------------------------------------
1 IN PTR localhost.
---------------------------------------------------
- but it should say
---------------------------------------------------
1 IN PTR localhost.
---------------------------------------------------
- that is without the leading whitespace.

Hope that'll solve your problem
