[CentOS] Help with at Bash script

I am attempting to get a script borrowed from DJB to work on my CentOS-6.6
box.  Simplified it looks like this:

tcpdump -l -n -e port 53 \
  | awk '{if ($14 ~ /A.*?/) print $15}' \
  | while read domain ; do echo $domain ; done ;

The sticking point is the 'while read' construct.  Run just as
'tcpdum | awk'
I get this:

english.stackexchange.com.
www.urbandictionary.com.
www.urbandictionary.com.
www.urbandictionary.com.
www.urbandictionary.com.
api.mywot.com.
a.udimg.com.
a.udimg.com.
fonts.googleapis.com.
. . .

Run with the 'while read $domain ; do echo ' pipe nothing appears
whatsoever.
What am I doing wrong?

while read domain; do
     echo ${domain}
done < <(tcpdump -l -n -e port 53 | awk '{if ($14 ~ /A.*?/) print
$15}')

The "echo ${domain}" part is certainly just a simplification of a more
complex command to run on the variable. Else it would be pointless as 
awk is printing out the domain field 15.

If not a typo in the message, your mistake, and I do it all the time, is
using

while read $domain

instead of

while read domain

Works for me as is.  You just have to wait for your pipe buffer to
fill so the output is bursty.

You have to do 
     cat domain 
in back tiks 

instead of read domain.

This is an error you can't blame on your device.  domain is not a file,
but a bash variable.  read takes stdin (which is what the OP's snippet
is doing) and populates the named variable(s) (domain in this case).
