Performing NAPTR queries on Windows

While testing out my PowerDNS setup, which I blogged about yesterday I discovered that nslookup can not perform NAPTR queries.I poked around for a while to see what I was doing wrong, however it seems that even though Windows Server supports supplying NAPTR responses to DNS nslookup can not perform this query. (Yeah this seems odd to me as well.)

Thankfully I found this easy to use port of dig for Windows and within 30 seconds of downloading it I was performing successful NAPTR queries from my windows box. It is worth grabbing if you need anything beyond simple DNS queries on your windows box.
