| 1. Also known as reverse
resolving and rDNS, Reverse DNS lookup is the
process of looking up an IP address to
resolve a hostname instead of the
other way around. This technique is often used to help diagnose
networking related issues or to determine where network data is
going. Users running
Microsoft Windows could use the
nslookup command to perform a
reverse lookup on an IP address and Linux users can use the
host command on
nslookup.
- Entering an IP address in our free

IP address and also see if it's up.
