Digging to the final IP

[Fajar A. Nugraha]

What are you using this for?

If it's part of a script, it might be easier to just use gethostbyname. For
example, in php: http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyname.php ,
Returns the IPv4 address or a string containing the unmodified hostname on
failure.
