    Vinicius didn't ask about DNS resolution, exactly,  but
*reverse* DNS resolution -- i.e. looking up a name from an address.

    At best, nslookup is the wrong tool:

    as the above shows: not only does nslookup on the ip not
return the name, but it returns the IP for a different machine!

    If you have 'dig', the "-x" option should do the trick.

  dig -x 172.25.0.100

If you want to not take a cached answer (as the dig, above does),
you can specify a server or trace from the root:

  dig @dns-server1 -x IPaddr
  dig @dns-server2 -x IPaddr

or tracing:

  dig +trace -x IPaddr


Cheers,
