Nslookup and the Command ine

[Trancemission]

Not sure if this is the right forum

I am trying to simply do an MX lookup on x domain from the command line. I can do interactive no problem but cannot find a way to do a MX lookup on one command line.

I would have thought it would be something like:

nslookup type=MX whatmx.doman.com my.nameserver.com ?!?

nslookup

set type=mx
to change back
set type=server

Not quite what I meant. I have no problem using it in Interactive-mode, but from the command line I was having trouble. The reason is I have a bactch of domains (700+) that I want to do MX lookups and format the results.

I have now managed to find a way round. If I edit my .nslookuppc file and add:

type=MX

BINGO! my default results from the command line are the MX records
