I don't want to retrain a bunch of people in a mixed AIX/Linux environment, nor give them the impression that Linux tools are inferior (although in this case they are).
I don't know where the AIX version came from, I'll look to BSD for a solution. Having used real nslookup on AIX for a decade or so, I'd rather have it just for me, even if it didn't skip a training/perceptual problem. These folks use "ls" and "hinfo" for many things, their internal nameservers provide it, I suspect their scripts expect it to work, and see no reason for the Linux version to be a capon. Violates Plauger's Law of Least Astonishment.
