Looking in src/usr.bin/host/Makefile, I see: # $FreeBSD: head/usr.bin/host/Makefile 255949 2013-09-30 17:23:45Z des $ LDNSDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../../contrib/ldns LDNSHOSTDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../../contrib/ldns-host ... which indicates that this is a re-implementation of "host" as provided by contrib/ldns. > I will remember to use "host" in the future.
