When using AWK with a variable pattern, can't get IF ELSE statement working

The AWK statement uses the variable $ip to search each line, but I need to print the variable $ip NOT FOUND in the ELSE statement for ips that are not found in the config.

Can't get it to work with IF ELSE, to reuse the $ip variable in the ELSE statement, so it would print 999.999.999.999 NOT IN CONFIG!

also, if possible to not use redundant getline getline getline's, like maybe a way to just skip 3 lines?

 declare -a iplist=(
 "192.168.0.10" 
 "192.168.0.20" 
 "192.168.0.30" 
 "999.999.999.999"
)

for ip in "${iplist[@]}"; do

awk "/$ip/" '{if {print $0; getline; getline; getline; print $0; print "-----"} else {print "/$ip/" "NOT FOUND"}' /home/user/D1/config

### BELOW WORKS - But, need the IF ELSE Statement ###
awk "/$ip/"'{print $0; getline; getline; getline; print $0; print "-----"}' /home/user/D1/config
done

config file contents:

ip=192.168.0.10
mask=255.255.255.0
allow=on
text=off
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=192.168.0.20
mask=255.255.255.0
allow=on
text=off
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=192.168.0.30
mask=255.255.255.0
allow=on
text=off
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----

Desired output:

ip=192.168.0.30
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=192.168.0.30
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=192.168.0.30
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=192.168.0.30
path=/home/user/D1/test/server1
-----
ip=999.999.999.999 NOT IN CONFIG
