: I think if you just do nslookup [IP ADDY] it'll work.  Kinda.

If that doesn't work, and you really like pain, you can try reversing
the address and adding IN-ADDR.ARPA to the end of it...

$ nslookup
> set querytype=any

But you gotta /really/ like pain to do that...

(PS: nslookup works just fine as Tom says.  Skip the pain.  It 
hurts.)
