The DNS Query Tool is a simple program you can use to query DNS servers, similar to posask and nslookup, but with a nice, basic GUI. It can display answers in a human-readable form, or as raw DNS messages. Also, you can choose whether you want to request recursion from the DNS server.
Dnsquery can be obtained from the download page.
