Title: nslookup from command line?
Post by: eguun on August 18, 2022, 10:34:38 PM

dear all,

looking for advise

I'm surprized that the nslookup tool isn't available out-of-the-box on opnsense.

What's the recommended/pragmatic way to make simple resolve of fqdn from the command line?
Is there a tool I oversaw?
Should I install nslookup from /usr/port?

Thanks

nslookup has been deprecated for ages. Just use ˋdigˋ.

Thanks for the response.

But dig also seems missing from out of the box.

What's the recommendation towards my initial question?

Both Dig and Nslookup were tools associated with BIND which was removed. "Host" however is still "in the box."

Ah ... I have BIND installed, sorry.

drill is the base system replacement for dig.
