While BIND 9 makes it clear that nslookup is deprecated, the problem is
that on some of the client platforms (e.g. Windows) that may need to
interoperate with Linux servers, dig is not available. I'd expect a
competent Linux administrator to be able to open a command window on a
Windows box and run nslookup, tracert, etc. in order to diagnose a user's
problem. Someone who says "where's dig on this &$@#&@$% thing" just
wouldn't cut it, IMHO. Even though, strictly speaking, running nslookup on
a Windows box isn't Linux system administration, employers want people who
get things done, rather than start demarcation disputes about Linux vs
Windows.
