If you want to do a DNS lookup using Mac Terminal, you can make use of the nslookup command.
Let's take a look at an example.
% nslookup code2care.org
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address: 192.168.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: code2care.org
Address: 172.67.164.66
Name: code2care.org
Address: 104.21.91.10
As you may see, code2care.org resolves to IP addresses (two DNS addresses) 172.67.164.66 and 104.21.91.10
% nslookup google.com
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address: 192.168.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 172.217.174.78
