I think you're getting the wrong result somehow; at least for me, b.iana-servers.net is 193.0.0.236 -- you're querying for $dom which is wrong, you should be querying for $server, but there can be other complications, too.

dig and host are not part of coreutils; on Ubuntu, at least, they're in the dnsutils and host packages, respectively, and there's also a separate bind9-host package which I believe contains a different version of host (hence, different output formats; originally host was also part of the dnsutils package, but many people wanted the Bind version, so they split it out).
