Extra complexity -- "man dig" yields 289 lines while "man nslookup" yields only 160 lines. Also, dig is not simply an extension of nslookup (which I long ago abbreviated to nsl), but is significantly different, so it using it involves the human analog of a cache miss. On Sat, 18 Aug 2018 20:12:0

When I started using Linux almost 20 years ago, I think there was only nslookup, and no dig. So by habit, I tend to use it unless the extra power of dig outweighs its extra complexity. I don't remember what I used on Windows back when I was regularly using both. On Sat, 18 Aug 2018 11:42:20 -0600

Thanks all for your quick response. I didn't need a 2nd pair of eyes, I needed a 2nd brain. I didn't think that I had to use the fully qualified domain name and was just using the subdomain.domain.name for the queries. What can I say, I'm old and going senile. Your responses showed me the error

I have created a SRV record for a new subdomain A record. I set nslookup to use my DNS server directly and when I query for the A record it returns it. When I set type=SRV and ask for the srv record nothing is returned. My SRV record: _minecraft._tcp.skyblock.mc-game.us.    IN SRV    0 5 2556
