Well yes but the record is sometimes returned as an A/AAAA so I'm being 
generic to ask IP to a record of any kind.

Even if I ask directly for an A record or a PTR record I still get 
something if there is something to return:

dig -t a 8.8.8.8

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;8.8.8.8.                       IN      A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

dig -t ptr 8.8.8.8
