Why golang Lookup*** function can't provide a server parameter?

For nslookup command, it has nslookup somewhere.com some.dns.server.

You can use this simple dns_resolver based on miekg/dns

go get github.com/bogdanovich/dns_resolver

package main

import (
    "log"
    "github.com/bogdanovich/dns_resolver"
)

func main() {
    resolver := dns_resolver.New([]string{"8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"})

    // In case of i/o timeout
    resolver.RetryTimes = 5

    ip, err := resolver.LookupHost("google.com")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err.Error())
    }
    log.Println(ip)
    // Output [216.58.192.46]
}
