I'd like to see us produce a host-alike based on ldns as well, If there still is interest, I've got just that at [1]. This tool, ldns-host, implements all the options of bind9-host (except for debugging ones), and produces close (and often identical) output. There's a list of differences between ldns-host and bind9-host in the man page (see [2]); most items can be fixed if people will request for it. Some more exotic situations where not tested though, so that list is only partial.
