Now, it doesn't nag, and behaves the same whether "-silent" is used or not. Not only that, the man page doesn't mention "-silent." Consequently, I guess there were howls of protest, and nslookup's fortunes have revived so it will be with us for the foreseeable future. The man page seems reasonable to me, try it. > recommend looking at using the replacement called 'dig' for queries. > See if that solves your problems.
