ISC announced the deprecation of nslookup(1) as part of the major rewrite before the release of Bind9. If you install the Bind9 port you will find that there isn't a nslookup(1) man page any more. Also, running nslookup(1) emits the following message: % /usr/local/bin/nslookup Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. and the BIND9 documentation includes this statement: Due to its arcane user interface and frequently inconsistent behavior, we do not recommend the use of nslookup. Use dig instead. =20 These notices will no doubt appear in the base system when BIND 9 is imported. Currently FreeBSD ships with BIND 8.3.7: what the plans are for importing Bind 9 I do not know.
