Now, on our test server when we do `nslookup prodsrv`, it gives us
the ip address of the production server rather than the address of
the test server.

nslookup does not refer to the /etc/hosts file.

This is exactly why DNS and /etc/hosts should never be allowed to *conflict*
in their information for the same hosts or IP addresses. Tools which use one
source of data will argue with the other.

Only if they are allowed into the same room together. Why would anyone use
nslookup for anything except giving information to a human?
