The bind-tools (host, dig, nslookup) are command-line frontends for the
resolver.

Perhaps what you are trying to say is that they are separate from the
authoritative nameserver (named).  Yes, they are, but they have a *lot*
of code in common.  In fact, *most* of the code in BIND is common code
shared between named, dig etc.
