Net::DNS is in vendor_perl/5.10 so I wonder why it fails for you.
Most likely the test fails because you don't have a /etc/hosts file to 
test against.
If you don't have a /etc/hosts file, symlink it to your real hosts file, 
probably at %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

If so, do that with
cd /etc
ln -s `cygpath $WINDIR`/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

If not, can you attach your problem to the CPAN tracker?
The complete output of your make test failure, and the content of your 
/etc/hosts file please.

cd ~/.cpan/build/Net-Nslookup-...
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
