Subject:	SCOUG-Help: HOST vs NSLOOKUP ?

Content Type: text/plain

The OS/2 TCP/IP Help does not show any options for the HOST
command.

But The Register shows a -l option in the following story:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/17/anti_spam_activist_lawsuit/

and Google ("host command") found the -l ("list") option.

--My Question--: Is OS/2's NSLOOKUP pretty much the same
as *nix's HOST? Or am I missing something and the guy in the
article was doing something other than a simple DNS query?

I really don't want to worry about PolarBar going after me for
doing the following:

[G:\]host polarbar.com
polarbar.com = 62.70.53.205
[G:\]host 62.70.53.205
Can not resolve 62.70.53.205 to a name

[G:\]host polarbar.net
polarbar.net = 66.6.73.189
[G:\]host 66.6.73.189
66.6.73.189 = 66-6-73-189.cttel.net

[G:\]host polarbar.org
polarbar.org = 64.210.149.200
[G:\]host 64.210.149.200
Can not resolve 64.210.149.200 to a name

I wonder if the judge is one of my relatives?
