I have recently had to do the same thing (parsing an nslookup command) in
order to write a script. I would REALLY appreciate a DNS module as part of
the standard library. The socket library just didn't quite do everything I

I'm curious about the reference to Anthony Baxter and a possible DNS module
for including in the standard library. More info? Comments?
