You can use Lookup to obtain information on host names and IP addresses.
The Lookup tool lets you query Internet domain name servers for information about the domain and its registered hosts. You can use Lookup to determine what happens when DNS clients on your network use the DNS server to find the address of the remote host.
You can use Lookup to:
- List just the name and Internet address of a host or domain
- Look up the mail system for a domain
- List all registered hosts in the domain (this is called a zone listing or zone transfer)
- Find the IP address from a hostname or a hostnamename from an IP address
- Query other Internet DNS Servers
