[no subject]

nslookup performs this action using a zone transfer.  The same action 
can be performed with dig:

    dig @authoritative-server somedomain.com axfr > somedomainhosts.txt

Many domain name servers will block zone transfers (a form of 
security through obscurity), so the operation will not always succeed 
(regardless of whether you use nslookup or dig).
