I haven't tried that 'ldbsearch' yet - can you give me an example please?

Forward and reverse DNS lookups work...

$ host dc3
dc3.bigjigstoys.com has address 130.130.0.218

$ host 130.130.0.218
218.0.130.130.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dc3.mydomain.com.

...errr, so not sure where the extra octet is appearing from in the Windows GUI!?
