If nslookup verifies the DNS configuration is correct how you want it,
then the Admin Server and Apache should be working correctly also.

These are informational messages printed by Bind periodically so you can
know its status.  The shorthand notation looks confusing, but O'Reilly's
DNS and Bind book contains the translation from the shorthand to a full
description of what each statistic means.

You may want to contact our technical support directly if you are still
unable to resolve your issue.

Thanks,

Erik.
