nslookup is a tool for talking to dns servers. You can look up any host and
get its address, mx records, or whatever; or take an address and lookup the
name. It's also useful for just verifying that your local nameserver is up
and that its up-to-date. Though you can get a little of that info with alot
of work from the tools above, I was hoping someone had ported nslookup over
to MPE/iX already, I can't imagine that it would be tough to port. I imagine
the source is probably out there on gatekeeper.dec.com ready for someone to
pick up and compile. Just wish I had time...
