Yes, but there is no way to get its name from a reverse lookup, i.e, its ip address doesn't report the name 'm206-157.dsl.tsoft.com' as a valid host hooked to it. $ dig m206-157.dsl.tsoft.com ....... ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;m206-157.dsl.tsoft.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: m206-157.dsl.tsoft.com. 3600 IN A 198.144.206.157 Now, let's do the reverse lookup. $ dig -x 198.144.206.15 ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> -x 198.144.206.15 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19460 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;15.206.144.198.in-addr.arpa.
