yes they do answer with debug on.

No, they don't. What you see is what happens with your requests, how the code makes various tries to get the answers you queried for.

So was it the intent of the person who wrote this module to have this code act in this way?

I won't comment on that - but rest assured the code is ok and doesn't hide any intent to harm anyone ;)

What I am doing wrong?

Now that's a ways better question, really :)

I believe you do use a tool you're not really controlling to solve a problem that you don't fully understand. No problem, it happens to all of us. Anyway, the first step is to define /understand the sub-problems and then fight them one by one.

Do you have a recommendation on how to make this more usable? Yes $query is undef.

Let's work it out - what is the nslookup command you were using ? Is it possible that with nslookup you queried different nameservers...?
