Interesting, I hadn't considered stringing together this, however 
check_dig returns a warning, which is because it's looking for:

   "-x 74.203.101.150"

as the response.  I guess if you tied it together with -a "somestring" 
you can make this setup work for you.  For example:

./check_dig -H 8.8.8.8 -l "-x 74.203.101.150" -T PTR \
   -a "akc.org" -v

That returns OK, but without the -a, it returns a warning.
