and vice-versa.

Query Type
In the DNS-Database are several types of records. The most important
one is the A-record, the Address-Record. This is used for getting
the address for an hostname. Another important one is the MX-Record,
the Mail-eXchanger-Record. It specifies which host handles the mail
for a specific domain.
Nameserver
If you choose Default nslookup will use the default server for the
system Webmin is installed on.
Timeout
If nslookup will not get an answer for this amount of seconds it will
abort the lookup.
