Hi list. I'm making a program that maps some ip address to a specified dns. My problem is relative to CNAME record. Supposing we have google ip, generated from a program, and we don't know that this ip is pointing to www.google.it. This program try to get hostname and give that the specified ip points to:

 fra07s07-in-f103.1e100.net.


This name is obtained from gethostbyaddr();

There is a method to know that fra07s07-in-f103.1e100.net is pointed from www.google.it?

Try to do the simple dns query to www.google.it, i get

It said that www.google.it is a cname that point to www.google.com, that point to www.l.google.com and that www.l.google.com. points to some addresses. Supposing that I have 209.85.148.104 ip, is possible (only knowing the ip) go back to the CNAME record www.google.it?

I've tried this:

dig -x 209.85.148.104:

and then, query the google dns:

 dig @ns1.google.com -x 209.85.148.104

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> @ns1.google.com -x 209.85.148.104

and this is the max level that I can obtain.
I've tried also with another domain (www.cnr.it) and using this method, I can get from ip address that it points to www.cnr.it, The only difference is that in cnr dns, www.cnr.it is not a cname record but IN record.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
