IBM replied with:

Greetings, IBMi development confirms that the DNS client applications

Support

memo dated 7 may 2024 and will be fully available for use.

I'm still not convinced they realize that the native IBM i commands

nslookup,

dig and host are not on a system without option 31. I do not want to
"assume" that these will be rolled over into either base OS or TC1.
Particularly when I think they might believe they already are. So I

replied

with:
"I have lpars without option 31. They do not have nslookup, host nor dig.
How do I get these IBM i native commands without loading option 31?"
I'm waiting for that reply.
