There is no official cygwin package for dig and host. You can use the 
cygwin-ports <http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/> package of bind. (Would be 
nice if that would become an official package BTW)

Or you can download the latest Windows version of bind 
<http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/> and put dig.exe and host.exe with the 
required DLLs somewhere in your path.

Frank
