Problem to search multiple strings

Hi all,
I am search a string from a file using following command, I want to pick the message ( I.e print $5) from the lookup file if and only if both $hostname and $instancename match.
Message=`cat $lookup_tbl| awk '/'$category'/ {if ('$hostname' == '$2' || '$instancename' == '$3') print $5}'`
This work fine when I have different category but not with same category.
I.e. if $category=interface it work fine but when $category= Link_Availability getting both email id's in category (I.e soman@nvgnoc.com and sudir@nvgnoc.com)

my lookup file like this

#Look up table############################################################################################### ###########
Catagory Hostname Instantname Subject Message E-mail Address
interface W2K3GNOC W2K3GNOC2 Message_from_netview W2K3GNOC_link_is_down nvpraveen@nvgnoc.com
Link_Availability TVMROUTER TVMROUTER2 Message_from_netview Asianet_Link_is_Down soman@nvgnoc.com
Link_Availability TVMROUTER TVMROUTER6 Message_from_netview VSNL_Link_is_Down sudir@nvgnoc.com
#################################################################################################### #####################

Please guide me to achieve this.

Regards
Sudhish

Are they real email Ids ? If so please do not furnish such information
You could use something like abc@xyz.com

Link_Availability TVMROUTER TVMROUTER2 Message_from_netview Asianet_Link_is_Down so@so.com
Link_Availability TVMROUTER TVMROUTER6 Message_from_netview VSNL_Link_is_Down s@this.com

only one would be selected,
the common second field is ' TVMROUTER ' and the other value should be either ' TVMROUTER2 ' or ' TVMROUTER6 '

so only one row would be selected
