I have the reverse opinion. Why do people keep insisting on using host, when dig does the same (if not more) and while being so easy to use.
Most of my co-worker prefer host, but continue to be supprised when I use dig and features like reverse lookup or dig @some-dns-server. I’m sure that host can do the same, but few seems to know how.
- bspammer 5y agoThe comment you're replying to has an example of using a specific DNS server. As for reverse lookups, it's as simple as host <ip-address>
