I know I'm missing the obvious. I want to use an IP list to generate
an ip+hostname list. IOW, I want to go from this:
x.x.x.x
y.y.y.y
to this;
x.x.x.x foo.domain.tld
y.y..y.y bar.domain.tld
What's the best/easiest way to do this?

dig(1) - see section `MULTIPLE QUERIES'
note the -x flag to instruct dig to perform a reverse lookup
see also host(1)
That's not a great deal of help. I, of course, had read and re-read the
man pages before posting the question here, and I'm quite familiar with
the "normal" use of dig and host, because I use them daily in my work.
The two options that man (1) dig provides are; on the commandline and in a
file. I can easily generate a list of hostnames having constructed an
iplist in a file and then preceding each line with "dig +short -x IP"
using vi. But that gives me a list of hostnames only. What I'm looking
for is the combination of the two. host (1), of course, doesn't even have
*those* options, so it's of no use for accomplishing what I'm attempting.
Again, I want to start with a list of IPs and end up with a list of IPs
*plus* their hostnames (on the same line). I'm quite sure someone here
has the experience and/or knowledge to do this using shell commands. I
suspect awk might be helpful but haven't yet investigated that angle.
