Now that they are dropping option 31 can you please provide a native nslookup which does not require installing an unsupported option?

The NSLOOKUP, HOST, and DIG commands will not be converted to use the IBM i Resolver APIs in the OS base. The Option 31 provided NSLOOKUP command can be used without configuring or starting the DNS server. If the server is not started, an external audit/scan of ports should not fail because option 31 is installed on the system
The HA application in the use case can code to the IBM i Resolver APIs or getaddrinfo() to do a name resolution directly. That does not require Option 31 be installed. Refer to the API documentation in Knowledge Center for information on these APS. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/apis/unix8b.htm
IBM i option 31, as Jan 2017, has BIND version 9.10.1 available on 6.1, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3.
