Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [lsuggs] 43700: First push of nslookup implementation.

[Alex Ionescu]

nslookup on Windows uses DNSAPI exclusively for DNS resolution, and
the Rtl* network APIs for IP processing.

In fact, there are even lots of Wine postings about people trying to
run nslookup and failing due to missing dnsapi functionality.

Best regards,
