Package: dnsutils Version: 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu3 Severity: wishlist As currently implemented, dig(1) provides a -x convenience option to query the reverse DNS in-addr.arpa, ip6.arpa, and ip6.int zones.
It seems a natural extension, however, to allow querying arbitrary “reverse” zones, such as, for instance, used by various DNS black- and whitelists. Consider, e. g.: $ dig -z l2.apews.org -x 200.11.173.11 The default query type in this case may be either A (as used in the lists) or PTR. -- FSF associate member #7257 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
