# - The dig lookup runs queries against DNS servers to retrieve DNS records for a specific name (FQDN - fully qualified domain name).
# It is possible to lookup any DNS record in this manner.
# - There is a couple of different syntaxes that can be used to specify what record should be retrieved, and for which name.
# It is also possible to explicitly specify the DNS server(s) to use for lookups.
# - In its simplest form, the dig lookup plugin can be used to retrieve an IPv4 address (DNS A record) associated with FQDN
# - In addition to (default) A record, it is also possible to specify a different record type that should be queried.
# This can be done by either passing-in additional parameter of format qtype=TYPE to the dig lookup, or by appending /TYPE to the FQDN being queried.
# - If multiple values are associated with the requested record, the results will be returned as a comma-separated list.
# In such cases you may want to pass option wantlist=True to the plugin, which will result in the record values being returned as a list
# over which you can iterate later on.
# - By default, the lookup will rely on system-wide configured DNS servers for performing the query.
# It is also possible to explicitly specify DNS servers to query using the @DNS_SERVER_1,DNS_SERVER_2,...,DNS_SERVER_N notation.
# This needs to be passed-in as an additional parameter to the lookup
