nslookup behaving strangely

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

I have two servers on same domain. one can nslookup other cannot

Psu100 can lookup to psu000, psu010 & psu011
Psu110 can NOT lookup to psu000, psu010 & psu011

I verified resolv.conf entries on both psu000 and psu010 and it contains both name servers (10.200.10.21 & 10.200.11.22).I am wondering why lookup works from one server and doesn't works from other.

You are using non-fully qualified names... so... my guess is that there is a correct search path (selectfamily.com) in /etc/resolv.conf on one host vs the other. Try using a fully qualified name and see if that works... and/or check your /etc/resolv.conf.
