What’s the reverse DNS command line utility?

The commands dig and host should be what you’re looking for 😉

On *nix systems, you can use this command:

dig -x [address]

Alternatively, you can add +short at the end of the dig command to output only the DNS result.

There’s also nslookup on both *nix and Windows systems for reverse DNS requests.
