Peter, while i dont have the exact tool you are looking for, I believe I
may have one that users of this list may benefit from. If you have ever
setup reverse dns with ipv6 addresses, you know how much of a pain it can
be.. This script solves that problem. You feed it the IP address, and it
gives you the IP6.INT value. It works also for ipv4 addresses, you can feed
it an ipv4 ip and it will give you the in-addr.arpa value
This is not my code so I would like to give credit to author: Keith
