Talk:nslookup

Raw text dumps excised

User:172.216.36.19 dumped the output of invoking nslookup with the -? option on two platforms and the "unix man" page into the article. I've removed them, on the grounds that (a) text dumps do not an encyclopaedia article make, and (b) the manual page is probably not GFDL licensed. Uncle G 21:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Links are POV

All four external links are about how nslookup is flawed; I think that is POV, there should be (also) neutral links to documentation and such... 201.212.126.164 20:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Amen to that. --Karlosian 20:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I replaced some similar POV stuff to some facts. 164.58.171.152 (talk) 23:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Most common version?

Article says "The most common version of the program is included as part of the BIND package." More common than the version with Windows?? Nurg (talk) 23:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Subcommands example is unclear

The subcommands example seems quite unclear. Nurg (talk) 23:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Deprecated or planned for deprecation?

The article says "Early in the development of BIND 9, the Internet Systems Consortium planned to deprecate nslookup in favor of host and dig. However, this decision was reversed in 2004..." - saying "this decision was reversed" makes it sound like it was more than planned. I'm not sure if anything was actually effected, which is why I'm bringing it up. --Dinaq400 (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
