New suggestion - Add nslookup and or dig

[Arwen]

While trouble shooting my network, (which was 100% my fault), I found that Scale did not have nslookup or dig. Or for that mater, getent.

So, here is the suggestion;
https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-109391

Any one want to comment?

@ornias Thanks.

I did have one question, the GitHub repository seems to not differentiate the FreeNAS/TrueNAS OS, which is built on FreeBSD, from the TrueNAS Scale which is built on Linux. Well, actually that same comment / question applies to Jira.

I understand they are similar products, but the "engine" / OS is different enough to ask why they use the same GitHub & Jira?

Their was no place to specify Scale verses Core verses Non-Core / Commercial.

The naming scheme is a bit... awkward.
That repo is actually just the SCALE build code. No worries.

@Merged, should be build into nightly shortly and available in next alpha release...
I've also pushed a bit to get the weird naming of the repo's a bit nicer..
