Is there any method of allowing Linux to perform reverse DNS lookups using the /etc/hosts file or some other file? I currently have the interface addresses in /etc/hosts but now have a requirement to perform a reverse name lookup. I use an external DNS as well but that is under another department?s control. I need more specific control in case an interface goes down. Thanks.
