nslookup just doesn't seem to work at all.

neither dig or nslookup work on the reverse lookup so I think you could 
well be right but I can't see what is wrong with it:
bash-2.05# more rev.213.128.229
; /var/named/accesscomputing.co.uk
;
$TTL 1D   ; Default TTL in secs(1 day)

@       IN SOA ns.accesscomputing.co.uk. root.accesscomputing.co.uk. (
         2004052502      ; Serial number yyyymmddvv
         10800   ; Refresh  (3, was 8 hours)
         3600    ; Retry (1, was 2 hours)
         604800  ; Expire (7 days)
         86400   ; Minimum
)
;
