The nslookup Program
The nslookup program is used to query the Internet domain name servers interactively.
Summary of Change
The nslookup program has been extended to follow the configured host name resolution
algorithm and to query NIS, DNS, and host tables.
When nslookup receives an answer packet larger than 512 bytes, it prints the resource
records that can be interpreted from the record, and a single error message for the
remaining records is printed, instead of printing error messages for all the uninterpreted
records.
