Summary

0000907: More scriptable nslookup

Description

It would be nice if the output used unique tags. As it is, "Address" is used twice and that complicates scripting:

root@OpenWrt:~# nslookup www.busybox.net 166.70.99.138
Server: codepoet.org
Address: 166.70.99.138

Name: www.busybox.net
Address: 140.211.166.41

Something like
IP=`nslookup www.busybox.net 81.169.159.148 |grep Address |sed 's/Address: *//'`
ends up with $IP containing the server's address. Substituting "Server IP" for the first "Address" would simplify life and increase usability.

(BTW, while creating the sample output above, I noticed that your primary name server has no PTR record:
$ host 166.70.154.59
Host 59.154.70.166.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
)

(0001429) bernhardf 06-17-06 03:34	No, this would just increase the size needlessly. Better fix your script: ./busybox nslookup www.busybox.net 166.70.99.138 \| ./busybox sed -e '1,/^Name/d;s/Address:[ \t]*//' 140.211.166.41
