I would further suggest that where a dig(1) option isn't emulated, the fallback error message should refer the user to drill(1). >As for nslookup... it's been deprecated for a decade. But old fogies might still use it. Can I suggest that something along the lines of the the following be installed as /usr/bin/nslookup: #!/bin/sh echo "nslookup is no longer supported. Please see drill(1) or host(1)" >&2 exit 1 -- Peter Jeremy
