That error actually is nslookup trying to do a reverse lookup for
10.2.2.253 to find out the hostname behind it.
You'll want to add a 2.2.10.in-addr.apra. zone to your DNS config with
PTR records back to the hostname for each IP address in 10.2.2.0/24 you
are using.
Things will work without doing that, but many applications try to do a
reverse lookup anyway, and it can take a few seconds for all the
possible lookups to fail, so things will be faster if you add the extra
reverse zone.
