It gives you information about internet sites and domains
If you use it from the command line: Code:
nslookup mysite.com nslookup 1.2.3.4 To go into "interactive mode" just type nslookup You can read the man page to see what you can do there. Not everything will work - depending on the local site's security policy and/or the remote site's security policy. |

nslookup provides additional info about dns, particularly record info, has a lot of possible switches to get specific info about a record. Also can be run interactively. You can use it to get ip address for domain then dig further to get record info. For example if troubleshooting email, you can use it to make sure mx records are present and they are working properly.
