I keep hoping for a BIND distro that upgrades nslookup(1) to: print STDERR, "nslookup(1) has been replaced by host(1)\n"; exit 0; I've been wishing that nslookup would go away since back in BIND-v4 days. I could save a lot of troubleshooting time if I didn't get trouble reports based on the use of nslookup that is misleading or not completely bogus. -- R.
