Rather cryptic for me so I looked:

dig has gone from current src/usr.bin/dig 
nslookup & dig & host 
are all installed by either of current
ports/dns/bind99 or ports/dns/bind-tools

src/usr.bin/drill/


I agree with O.P. Zhifeng Hu's "this is a very basic tools".

Removing src/contrib/bind9 from FreeBSD-10 will get criticised as:
 "Calls itself a server OS, but no name server out of the box!"

Please resist periodic urges to strip src/ towards just a tool set
capable of rebuilding itself.  Tossing expected tools (even if a
port is more up to date & secure) will annoy users, & potential
immigrants from other Unixes may try then toss FreeBSD.

Cheers,
Julian
