The GNU "host" command is a useful DNS lookup utility.

Is the "host" command available in cygwin?
(Cygwin does not install it by default)

If the "host" utility is available in cygwin, which cygwin package 
should I install to have it?

otherwise, is there are simple "host" alternative in a cygwin package?
(console application, not a graphical user interface)

Many thanks,
DAvid
