What about any scripts and tools that rely on the expected behaviour and output of nslookup? Just think about the amount of such legacy and sometimes obsolete *but working* software. Who would be responsible for migration so the newer DNS tools would be used instead of nslookup? :) Note: I'm not talking about my own scripts and tools (I'm using dig and/or host whenever possible). -- Yours sincerely, Andrey G.
