I thought that there was a command "host" to do a forward lookup of a dns

grunter root # host www.xtra.co.nz
-bash: host: command not found

Do any of you know what I am doing wrong?
Do you know what package I may need to install to get this?

Yes there is, and on my Fedora installation it's in /usr/bin. It might be 'hidden' in /sbin or /usr/sbin, or you might need to install ( emerge? ) it.
