Which would not have helped the poster at all.

Please, everyone, do NOT make this your knee-jerk reaction to a person
who mentions that he or she has used 'nslookup'.  The latter program
does work OK in a perfectly set up DNS configuration; so if it fails,
there is something wrong.  Granted that 'dig' gives what all the DNS
experts collected here consider a more perfect answer.  But it is also
incomprehensible to many.  And use of it will NOT automatically
enlighten anyone whose problem is not the one or two that are caused
simply by using 'nslookup'.
