  nslookup is available on macOS and most Linux distros as well (and very helpful indeed).

      Well, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.

      Host is also really great with more human-readable output.

      Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.
