How do you reverse lookup an IP address?
To clarify, with a Reverse DNS Lookup, you query the IP address to find the hostname. Therefore, by entering the IP address into the Reverse DNS Lookup Tool, you are able to find the domain name associated with the corresponding IP. For example, one IP address of Google.com is 74.125. 142.147.
How does reverse lookup work?
A reverse DNS lookup is a DNS query for the domain name associated with a given IP address. This accomplishes the opposite of the more commonly used forward DNS lookup, in which the DNS system is queried to return an IP address.
What is reverse call lookup?
Reverse phone lookup helps you to identify phone numbers, the name associated with that number and even their addresses. So the next time you find a strange missed call, instead of calling back right away, just look it up, see who it is, and then decide whether it’s someone you know or not.

It actually does a request on the PTR entry, but if you filter on “PTR” it will show you one commented line (the request) and maybe some replies. Using “dig” can be handy for a quick writing of the PTR name, without having to write a small script.
What does it mean to do reverse IP lookup?

Why are in-addr.arpa addresses stored backwards?
An “in-addr.arpa address” is a reverse DNS record, stored in a strange format. If we are considering ip 1.2.3.4, then “4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa” is the reverse DNS record. It’s used when you want to find out the host name of something you have an ip address for (for example, “dig -x ” will give you that). But why is it stored backwards?
