Hmm, I kind of want to play digdug now:(

If you have an IP you’d like to perform a reverse lookup on to find the domain associated with it, look no further than the very light and informational dig program:

dig +noall +answer -x 199.232.41.10

Note that PTR records are not required for IP addresses. If a PTR record is not defined for an IP address, you cannot do a remote DNS lookup.

Thanks linuxcommando!
