Bill, the entirety of your original question was as follows:
The nslookup shipped with Fedora is a toy, with most of the
important parts returning "not implemented" status. Can someone
point me to a source for the real program, such as I used on
other systems like AIX? The lack of functionality is becoming a
real time-waster!
Since you didn't at that time supply any of the "political" reasons
behind the question, some of us assumed you simply didn't know about
dig, which as has been said repeatedly, is the standard DNS lookup
program on Linux and other Unix-like systems. If you had explained that
you needed exactly nslookup *and not a substitute* perhaps some
misunderstanding could have been avoided.
