"host" command/tool. Where to get it?

Under Mandrake, I used to use "host" command very often, but under Slackware I don't have this command. The word host is too popular to google anything, so I'm asking you, where can I get this tool?

It's part of Slackware as well. You must install n/bind-9.3.0-i486-3.tgz.

did you install all of the 'n' series of packages? host is in there on slack 10.1. I have it on here, wasn't even aware until you mentioned it, but it's there. As it's a networking tool, it would be in the 'n' series of packages.
