I can confirm this behavior.
`dig +short` always writes it output to the terminal and cannot be
redirected.
```
$ dig +short google.com
74.125.68.101
74.125.68.138
74.125.68.100
74.125.68.102
74.125.68.139
74.125.68.113

$ dig +short google.com | tee dig.txt

$ cat dig.txt
(no text is shown)

$ dig +short google.com 2>&1 | tee dig.txt

$ cat dig.txt
(no text is shown)

```

I think it's a good idea to package `unbound` as an alternative to
`bind` for dns related tasks.
