first, this is a bind list, and nslookup is not a bind tool. Consider
using dig, which is much better in this case.

And, IIRC, when you run nslookup you can put
set type=AAAA
yourquery.com

and that should give the effect you want
I have no idea how to change the default query type for any of the tools.
