Yes, Mark, and we know how users love memorizing and typing in all the
flags.  ;-)  They don't.

As I had said, 'nslookup' is really only evil when using it to find
problems with DNS.  If DNS is known to be set up correctly, then it's a
perfectly adequate tool for what it's been used for 99.99% of the time
- translating names to IP addresses and back.
