It makes the lookup calls itself

I doubt it, unless you wanted to modify the source and recompile?

There are a number of utilities that will create an Analog DNS file for
you, but they obviously have to be able to make their own NSLOOKUP
calls, so they probably aren't much use to you, unless you have access
to the remote machine, and can run something directly there.
(An example is QuickDNS, at
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/qdns.htm
Despite the URL, this isn't actually related to Analog at all, as far as
I know).

If you can't run anything directly on the remote system, you could do
something very simple with batch files to use your rcmd, but I can only
imagine that it would be horrendously slow.
