Digging to the final IP

[Josh Kuo]

If all you are after is one of the final IP addresses (not the entire 
set), then using a "dumb" client might be easier. For instance, 'ping'.

$ ping -q -c1 www.google.com
PING www.google.com (203.66.155.113): 56 data bytes


If you want to get more than one IP address, then you'll need an 
intelligent client such as 'host' or 'dig:

$ host www.google.com
www.google.com has address 203.66.155.49
www.google.com has address 203.66.155.50
www.google.com has address 203.66.155.44
...
www.google.com has address 203.66.155.45
www.google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4008:c03::67
