Can "host" perform reverse DNS'ing?
I'm exploring some Linux networking tools, and came across "host". I've used it to resolve IP addresses (forward DNSing).Can I use it to perform reverse DNSing? (I have no dns servers at home - I just want to use "host" as a tool to DNS lookup IP addresses). This is what i get:
root@tiger:~$ host <some ip address> <some ip address> does not exist, try again |
I have also noticed that host doesn't always work for reverse lookups. Like this one:
Code:
hw@baron:~$ host www.google.com Code:
hw@baron:~$ host www.yahoo.com Håkan |
