Hi Frank & questions@, There were discussions. Nslookup was treated as a corollary of removing bind from src/ to ports/. To find discussions search archives with word bind in subject headers, (better than keyword nslookup or named). I recall archives to search as current@ or stable@ freebsd.org. The rationale for bind removal from src/ I thought ill advised; it won't suprise me if FreeBSD gets roasted for no longer being net server ready. Complaints or calls for review should go to <arch@freebsd.org>.
