Hi Josh,

AstLinux has never included "bind" in the image, the package has originated with an early Buildroot.

Years ago we looked at adding "dig", but it added a lot to the disk image size ... which 5MB of .xz compressed source might imply.

Instead the "unbound" package installs unbound-host (with a symlink for "host"), while not "dig" it provides a lot of functionality.  Much better than Busybox's nslookup.
