What is a Linux version of nslookup?

I'm trying to use nslookup to lookup hostnames on my local network.

I know the ip address of the computer that hosts the server, and I can ping it fine (192.168.0.100), but when I enter the IP address and the domain name into the address box in nslookup, it takes a long time to come back with the nameservers, and returns no results (just says no address associated with hostname). Is there a version of nslookup that will be more suitable for what I want to do?

If you want to resolve IP addresses to DNS names for local hosts, use. dig @192.100 xyz.local
If you want to resolve A-records from a hostname, use. dig @192.com If you want to resolve A-records or ANY-records, use
