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).

NAME

       yppoll - return current version of a NIS map at a NIS server host

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/yppoll [-d ypdomain] [-h host] mapname

OPTIONS

       -d ypdomain	       Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.

       -h host		       Ask  the  ypserv  process  at host about the map parameters. If host is not specified, the NIS server for the local
			       host is used. That is, the default host is the one returned by ypwhich(1).
