The dig which comes with BIND 9 supports doing multiple queries; older versions of dig apparently will only do a single query. Try doing "dig -f iplist" for batch-mode multiple queries, but trying to feed other options (like +short) will cause it to not output anything when I just tested. (The command-line argument handling of this utility is wildly nonstandard and sometimes plainly broken, IMO....) -- -Chuck
