Hank,
If <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Fhost.exe>
doesn't show any matches, this file most likely doesn't exist for Cygwin.
You can either search the web for an unofficial Cygwin port, or create one
yourself. IIRC, there were some issues with porting DNS-related utilities
to Cygwin -- you might try searching the Cygwin mailing lists,
particularly for postings by Pierre Humblet. If you do choose to port the
applications yourself (and succeed), I strongly urge you to contribute
them as an official package.
