Hehe. I also have DNS Expert (since it came with QuickDNS) and I use it
sometimes. It depends on the phase of the moon and my mood at any given time.
8^) Even though my workstation and primary OS (since 1985) is MacOS and I
have several MacOS DNS query utilities, I've found that I usually prefer dig
and nslookup (both UNIX programs running on a tame LinuxPPC box in my office).
In the particular case of DNS queries (certainly not true in most cases),
their command line interface seems more flexible and faster/easier to get the
info I'm looking for. Also, dig displays the records in the same form as it
receives them, which seems helpful in some cases -- at least to me.
