Re: [PLUG] slightly off topic: Reverse IP domain lookup


Unfortunately, it's not a simple task. A simple reverse dns lookup
will only return an in-addr.arpa PTR record for the IP. To find all A
and CNAME records, you'd need access to the dns server the domain is
hosted off of. You might have some luck with a little command line
tool known as "dig".
