You're management *still* has it wrong.  AIX and every Linux distro
hasn't "dropped" anything.  They all get their "bind" software from the
same upstream source.  That upstream source has depreciated nslookup in
favor of dig.

That sounds like a good plan.  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.
