I have some vague memory of seeing messages to that effect when using it
on a Solaris system in around 1999. I stopped using it around then and
switched to host and dig.
I can't point you to specific documentation (I stopped caring when I
started using dig), but I did find these:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/nslookup.html
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/nslookup-flaws.html
As far as I'm aware it only hung around because it was available on
Windows NT/2K/etc., while host and dig were not.
ISC has tried to kill it, but the beast is resilient and won't die.
Invocations of nslookup are embedded in thousands of legacy scripts and
some folks are unable or unwilling to change them.
