Here's a better one for dig
dig +noall +answer -f dns.txt
+noall = will not show any information provided by dig
+anwser = will only show the answer section dns name and IP.

I tried it again, but this time at work and it doesn't provide an answer but it works great at home.

It's pretty simple with Bash and a list of names on each line. Just do

while read dnsname; do
  nslookup $dnsname
done < dnsnames.txt

That's awesome. It even works with .local domain networks too.

Adding | grep ^Name -A1; echo at the end will only output the dns name and address.

while read dnsname; do
  nslookup $dnsname
done < dnsnames.txt | grep ^Name -A1; echo
