Me too. Even more important is that a host on multiple networks may have the same PTR value for each address, and thus one can lose information in the reverse lookup. "host w.x.y.z" ( or Solaris "nslookup -type=ptr z.y.x.w.in-addr.arpa" ) is available if you don't recognize the IP address.
- X-Istence 14y agodig -x <ip> Will also correctly do a PTR query for the reverse entry for that IP. Also functions correctly with IPv6, so you don't need to remember to split the IPv6 address up into a lot of dots :P
