Re: 'dig', 'nslookup' etc?

You can use the binaries from the precompiled win32 BIND packages from

For the client side command line there is also "/cygdrive/C/WINNT/system32/NSLOOKUP.EXE" on some Win32 OS's but because it is not Cygwin aware you can not use it in a pipe, popen, perl open(X,"cmd |"), or by greping the stdout for the desired patterns within a script. I hve been looking for something to do a little scripting of my custom dynamic DNS updates at home and found the perl Net::DNS package yesterday, but alas, installing via CPAN.pm it failed some of its tests. I'll have to look into this package a little more when I have the time.
