Documentation

Whether to use nslookup to resolve hostnames.

This should be used when your version of Emacs cannot correctly use DNS, but your machine can.

This used to happen on SunOS 4.x and Ultrix when Emacs was linked statically, and also was not linked with the resolver libraries. Those systems are no longer supported by Emacs.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.
