Summary:                    More scriptable nslookup
Description: 
It would be nice if the output used unique tags. As it is, "Address" is
used twice and that complicates scripting:

root at OpenWrt:~# nslookup www.busybox.net 166.70.99.138
Server:     codepoet.org
Address:    166.70.99.138

Name:       www.busybox.net
Address:    140.211.166.41

Something like 
IP=`nslookup www.busybox.net 81.169.159.148 |grep Address |sed 's/Address:
*//'` 
ends up with $IP containing the server's address. Substituting "Server IP"
for the first "Address" would simplify life and increase usability. 
 
(BTW, while creating the sample output above, I noticed that your primary
name server has no PTR record: 
$ host 166.70.154.59
Host 59.154.70.166.in-addr.arpa not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
)

No, this would just increase the size needlessly.

Better fix your script:
./busybox nslookup www.busybox.net 166.70.99.138 | ./busybox sed -e
'1,/^Name/d;s/Address:[ \t]*//'
140.211.166.41
