Description-en: Front-ends to DNS search
This package provides two programs to make user lookups on DNS
servers: dns_tree and dns_browse.
.
dns_tree is a command-line-based front-end to dig. It replaces the
several dig invocations necessary to fetch a zone, and it formats the
output in a somewhat sensible hierarchical style (a tree).
.
dns_browse is a GUI front-end to dns_tree. It allows point-and-click
DNS browsing and makes it easy to expand/compress hierarchies in one
or more DNS zones.
