For everyday business, I prefer host. When I _need_ to see what's
under the hood, I use dig (and usually hate it).
Btw, a shell account I was using years ago had a host version that
used to output all entries associated with a host name (up to
[wildcard] MXes, TXT records and that stuff) without requiring special
parameters to do so. Any ideas how I make a recent host version behave
like that?
