(why someone would remove it) Are you guys on crack? nslookup is still tought as part of basic TCP/IP troubleshooting technique, and I think your message about having it removed is wrong, and would take away from FreeBSD's user friendlyness. Why would you take away a tool that's installed on almost every TCP/IP application? I'm no Guru, but I use nslookup about 2000 times a day, and it pisses me off to see that it may be missing from future releases. My 2 cents.
