Thanks for that.
Perhaps I'm understanding the man page incorrectly - nslookup(1):
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
host [server]
Look up information for host using the current default server or
using server, if specified.
I've tried it with some internet machines and can't get it to work:
nslookup
> on.net ns1.on.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
# nslookup
> server ns1.on.net
Default server: ns1.on.net
Address: 203.16.213.172#53
Default server: ns1.on.net
Address: 2001:44b8:f020:ff00::80#53
> on.net
Server: ns1.on.net
Address: 203.16.213.172#53
Name: on.net
Address: 150.101.140.197

Now I need to figure out everything else. :]
I forgot to mention earlier, this is 4.7 GENERIC#558 i386 with BIND 9.4.2-P2
Best wishes.
