While I appreciate people taking time to provide pointers to other tools, that
really wasn't the question... 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.
Thanks all.
nslookup came from
isc.org I believe ..
http://ftp.isc.org/www/bind/arm95/Bv9ARM.ch03.html
Look down for nslookup ...
I may have missed it - what functionality are you looking for that is
not working ?
