% Yes, they are... But Bill, dig didn't exist in the early days of
% IPv4 DNS either, and you actually had to type backwards IPv4
% addresses with .IN-ADDR.ARPA in them to nslookup (and hope that
% idiot tool was deciding to work that day).
True... but nslookup did. Have you tried looking up a
fragment of a DNAME or BITSTRING lable recently?
Not for the faint of heart (or without some OOB information).
Chaining is "fun" :)
