So if you are not looking to write a script, just use ping -a <IP> in windows and that will reverse dns the IP for you. Then just do a ctl + f in the config files.

For instance I have a program that I wrote that runs on switch 1 that returns me an IP address of switch 2 and its status. I would then like the get the name from Nagios's configs for switch 2. Is this possible, without going through the entire hosts.cfg file? If not, has anyone else written something to do the similar function?
