For some reason name resolution with nettool is dog slow. A better solution
is to use nslookup from the bind port for name resolution and ping.net.sys,
both bundled up in a CI command file wrapper. If you get the version of ping
off jazz that does not require extra capabilities then you can have a very
nice ping command file usable by just about anyone; in particular, by
operations and help desk personnel.
