Hello, I know this may not be the best place to post this, but here goes; A while back I saw something posted regarding how to find out a domain name based on the IP number, using nslookup. It had something to do with some option within nslookup but I don't remember what it was. Could someone enlighten me or point me in the right direction for archived newgroups? Thanks Seng-Poh Lee lee@gdc.portal.com

I prefer to use the aliases: alias ns '(echo server ispdgate;echo set q=any;echo \!*)|nslookup|grep \!*' alias _nsn 'echo \!*|awk -F. '\''{print $4"."$3"."$2"."$1".in-addr.arpa"}'\' alias nsn '(echo server ispdgate;echo set q=PTR;_nsn \!*)|nslookup|grep host' ns is an nslookup by name (i.e. ns host.domain) _nsn is used by nsn nsn is an nslookup by number (i.e. nsn 26.6.0.83) nsn basically does what the previous posting does, filtering out the connect messges, etc. If you want to know the name server being used, remove the grep command from ns and nsn. weimer@ssd.kodak.com ( Gary Weimer )
