Better aproache to deal with dns_get_record

I can't understand how someone can build such crap for a wide use language.

But anyway the behavior of dns_get_record

query the A record:

var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A));

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(5) {
    ["host"]=>
    string(14) "host.name.tdl"
    ["class"]=>
    string(2) "IN"
    ["ttl"]=>
    int(0)
    ["type"]=>
    string(1) "A"
    ["ip"]=>
    string(12) "192.168.17.2"
  }
}

query the AAAA record:

var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_AAAA));

PHP Warning:  dns_get_record(): DNS Query failed in file.php on line 4
bool(false)

I find it a bit strange that no record is returned as false and not as empty array but I guess it's a way to do it.

Combine it:

var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A + DNS_AAAA));

PHP Warning:  dns_get_record(): DNS Query failed in file.php on line 4
bool(false)

And here is my question: Is there a better way to query the A and AAAA record with out doing two dns_get_record calls?
