I can find nothing in the documentation that states such. If I missed it, I'd appreciate someone pointing me at it. I quit using nslookup over 16 years ago (since it was before I moved to my current job) and have an near automatic response of "Could you check this using 'host'"? Often that is followed by a dig command they can cut and paste if they are not on Windows. dig(1) is clearly the ideal choice, but it's really a bit too much for normal users other than as cut 'n' paste. -- R.
