> nslookup is really an outdated tool.  

And buggy.

Apparently its widespread use, still, among MS-Windows users owed
primarily to the fact that nslookup.exe is included in the OS.

Quoting a private wiki page I maintain on the subject:


Please download, install, and use Dig for Windows
(http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/dig/), instead. (The package also
comes with "whois.exe", a useful tool for querying who is responsible
for and owns an Internet domain; and "host.exe", another utility for
performing DNS lookups similar to "dig.exe", except simpler.) Unpack all
files including *.dll to the desired directory, e.g., C:\Dig.

Alternatively, to get the very latest package of dig.exe, host.exe, and
whois.exe, directly from the publisher Internet Software Consortium: (1)
Visit http://www.isc.org/software/bind, and note the current production
release of BIND9. (2) Visit ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9 and pick that
release's subdirectory. The .Zip archive in that subdirectory, about 5
MB, will include dig, host, whois, and the support *.dll files, along
with things you probably won't want such as the MS-Windows version of
the BIND9 DNS daemon, which you can discard.
