They are sufficiently similar that writing a wrapper that supports a significant subset of dig's command-line option and uses drill as a backend shouldn't take more than an afternoon for a reasonably experienced programmer. I'm not entirely convinced that it is really required, but considering how easy it would be to implement, there's no reason not to. A drop-in replacement for host is, of course, an absolute requirement. As for nslookup... it's been deprecated for a decade. Its only saving grace is that its interactive mode is useful for playing text adventures implemented with DNS TXT records :) DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
