Default nslookup weird behavior

I accidentally found that "nslookup" works even if I specify a
non-existent dns server. For example "lookup www.kingoffighters.com
202.30.50.1" will return nothing for the first time but return correct
result for the second. 202.30.50.1 is just a random typed address.Â* Is
this normal?


My linux nslookup uses the default sequence of nameservers if the
command designated one doesn't work/ fails.Â* If the first default fails
then it uses the next, etc.

Likely Win has a similar strategy.

I think that possibility should be excluded because I see in Wireshark
log that exact "ghost" server returned the dns answer.
