Perform a reverse DNS lookup on an ip address
This tool is useful to perform reverse queries and get PTR records from IP addresses. In other words, this tool translates an IP address in an HostName. In fact PTR stands for POINTER and is a unique record in the DNS system that associates an IP address to a canonical hostname. Practically the PTR record is part on the DNS system but is made with a special zone file with the classical in-addr.arpa format.
