dnsutils
Clients provided with BIND
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) implements an Internet domain name server. BIND is the most widely-used name server software on the Internet, and is supported by the Internet Software Consortium, www.isc.org. This package delivers various client programs related to DNS that are derived from the BIND source tree. - dig - query the DNS in various ways - nslookup - the older way to do it - nsupdate - perform dynamic updates (See RFC2136)
bind-utils
Bind-utils contains a collection of utilities for querying DNS
(Domain Name System) name servers to find out information about Internet hosts. These tools will provide you with the IP addresses for given host names, as well as other information about registered domains and network addresses. You should install bind-utils if you need to get information from DNS name servers.
knot-dnsutils
Clients provided with Knot DNS (kdig, knslookup, knsupdate)
Knot DNS is a fast, authoritative only, high performance, feature full and open source name server. Knot DNS is developed by CZ.NIC Labs, the R&D department of .CZ registry and hence is well suited to run anything from the root zone, the top-level domain, to many smaller standard domain names. This package delivers various client programs related to DNS that are derived from the Knot DNS source tree. - [k]dig - query the DNS in various ways - [k]nsupdate - perform dynamic updates (See RFC2136) Those clients were designed to be 1:1 compatible with BIND dnsutils, but they provide some enhancements, which are documented in respective manpages. WARNING: [k]nslookup is not provided as it is considered obsolete.
