Yes it is...
rc interprets several characters specially; special char-
acters automatically terminate words. The following char-
acters are special:
# ; & | ^ $ = ` ' { } ( ) < >
The single quote (') prevents special treatment of any
character other than itself.
So you just need to quote the character, like this.
; configure '--prefix=/usr/local'
; nslookup '-querytype=mx' 127.0.0.1
