Write a tool in another language that performs the same function of an existing tool...and then support that tool into the future...all to avoid learning how to use the existing tool. Your time may be marginally spent better writing a wrapper around dig to make it appear as if it is nslookup. -- It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. èæå æåè / ååå ååèåæ
