[gllug] nslookup and other Nameserver tools for gentoo

[Caleb Cushing]

during the dns and ddns discussion a few weeks ago I noted, nslookup and dig
didn't exist in gentoo by default. I just looked it up in the OPD (online
package database). the package that contains these is  "bind-tools" so to
get them it would be

$ emerge bind-tools

this is just for anyone running gentoo who didn't know what package it
was and hadn't looked it up. if you want it.
