Nslookup set type=mx does not work

Hello,

I have both 10.20 and 11.0 workstations and neither will allow me to go into nslookup and type "set type=mx" It gives me a "illegal option" error. I have used this before, quite some time ago, and I even see the MX option in the man pages for nslookup.

Does anybody have any idea why it does not work? Maybe changed with a patch somewhere along the way?

Thank you,
Joe Drobnick

Is your nsswitch.conf set to look at files first? If so, this command will not work.
