Digging to the final IP

[Frank Bulk]

Is there a dig option that will list out the final (IPs) or query result??
By default, even with +short, it can list intermediate CNAME(s) and not what
IP(s) that CNAME may have.  

For example, 
	root at nagios:/tmp# dig mail.automatedwastesystems.net +short
	mail3.sandhills.com.
	root at nagios:/tmp#

I'd rather know that mail3.sandhills.com is NXDOMAIN.

Regards,

Frank
