Hi

I'm looking for a way to do a reverse lookup using dnspython. All of my attempts so far have failed and I haven't been able to find any info on the web about it. I'm running the latest version of python and the latest version (from svn repo) of dnspython. I've tried many many many ways of getting to work, with no success. In my mind (and I could be wayyyy off), the following should work...

forward lookup...

>>> for a in dns.resolver.query('viclaptop2'):
...   print a
...
10.1.10.158

reverse lookup...

>>> for a in dns.resolver.query('10.1.10.158'):
...   print a
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 647, in query
   return get_default_resolver().query(qname, rdtype, rdclass, tcp)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 591, in query
   raise NXDOMAIN
dns.resolver.NXDOMAIN

DNS most certainly works...

Been banging my head against the wall with this for a couple days, so any help would be much appreciated.
