I find *host* easier to use, script, and more tersely informative than the other bind DNS utilities: the bind-utils Cygwin package contains DNS utilities: delv dig host mdig named-rrchecker nslookup nsupdate and the lookups support most of the same arguments and options, with different names and defaults: host defaults to -t A -t AAAA -t MX, but host and nslookup only accept a single type, while dig accepts -t ANY; delv and mdig will do deep dives for DNSSEC and DNS; while named-rrchecker validates DNS RR inputs. -- Take care.
