If you didn't know, you can download dig for Windows. For example: http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.6.1-P1/BIND9.6.1-P1.zip Just stick dig.exe and the dll files in a directory that makes sense in your environment and enjoy!

In this instance the TTL is important. So I was hoping that the MS and BIND nslookup commands would display something pretty much similar to each other so as not to confuse the people too much. As far as I can tell no BIND 9 nslookup command shows the TTL. I am currently looking at an 8.2.3 version to see if I can patch the 9.5.1 one to display TTL's again. It may, however, be better to introduce them to dig rather than having to maintain the nslookup command.
