nslookup: Missing In Action

[Maelstorm]

I was trying to lookup a host name and it seems that nslookup has disappeared off the system. If that is indeed the case, what has replaced it, and can I get nslookup back?

You can install dns/bind-tools, or use drill(1) (replacement for dig(1) in the base).

The 'old' nslookup(1) was actually part of BIND, but BIND was removed from the base OS. Therefor nslookup(1) disappeared too.

Maelstorm, also see host(1).
