I see this *so* many times (and did it myself). The nslookup deprecation message says: Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. and for some reason, people's brains shut off when they get to "dig", without going on to the next command, "host". I know mine did, and it took me a while to figure out this important bit of information: The "host" command is the one you want 99% of the time. It does what nslookup was mostly used for, *way better*. 'dig' is generally pointless. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> --> Fedora Users & Developers Conference, hosted by Boston University <-- February 18th, 2005 <http://fedoraproject.org/fudcon/>
