Windows NT nslookup and ping can be used for reverse lookups.
Ping can be used on Windos 95/98/me. Also Ashmount has a nice Windows
Nslookup32 (I use an old version from Windows 3.11 that still works fine).
The Ashmount Nslookup gives all records associated with a DNS name or
IP address in one simple command.

Using these tools rather than a remote web page gets a response through
our local DNS servers or through a specific DNS server of your choice.
