There is a program floating around called host it's by Berkeley (based on a
Rutgers program.) It does the same thing as nslookup, however, the program
takes it's arguments on the command line and is somewhat nicer to use (at
least I think so.)
From the man page for host:
Host looks for information about Internet hosts. It gets
this information from a set of interconnected servers that
are spread across the country. By default, it simply
converts between host names and Internet addresses. However
with the -t or -a options, it can be used to find all of the
information about this host that is maintained by the domain
server.
Alas it was writen for BSD. But I've gotten it to compile and work under
HP-UX on the 9k/300's. (There is one place that might cause problems, I made
bcopy make a call to memcpy, but it hasn't so far.)
If you want a copy of the source (and man page) send mail to
jco@kzin.eel.ufl.edu (NOTE THIS IS NOT WHERE I'M POSTING FROM)
