- Let's say the IP address you want to map to a domain name is
- [11.22.33.44], the following sequence would do it.
-
- nslookup
- set q=ptr
- 44.33.22.11.in-addr.arpa.
- ^D

- Note that while the IP address is [11.22.33.44], its corresponding
- name inside the reverse lookup domain .IN-ADDR.ARPA is 44.33.22.11
- (reverse order).
