Why do we need to have a option to dig to massage the results into
every possible different form?  

dig A $name | awk '$0 ~ /status/ && $0 !~ /status: NOERROR,/ {
                        sub(",", "", $6 ); print $6; x=1
                   }
                   $4 == "A" { print $5; x=1 }
                   END { if (!x) print "TIMEOUT" }'
