I'll also admit that I grumbled mightily about ceasing to use nslookup, because, essentially, just decades of familiarity. Downright cranky I was about needing to learn 'dig'. But the latter's advantages were compelling, even before you stopped to consider nslookup's queasy-making use of antique BIND 4.x spaghetti code. -- Cheers, "I am a member of a civilization (IAAMOAC).
