/usr/sbin/nstest [-d][-i][-r][-v][-p port][inet-addr [logfile]]
Use the nstest interactive DNS test program to query DNS. You form and send user commands. Replies are printed on the standard output. inet-addr is the Internet address of the DNS resolver where nstest sends its queries. If you do not specify inet-addr, nstest first tries to contact a DNS server on the local host; if that fails, it tries the servers listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file. If you specify a logfile, nstest uses it to log the queries sent and replies received.
