Hi,

"nmap -sL" works good actually, shame that I didn't try it, I know
this parameter but for
some reason I didn't expected that it will do a DNS lookup.

Thanks,
P.

Hi,

I'd like to ask whether there is some common way/utility used if I need to
get DNS lookup for IP address range? Let's say I want to get DNS hostnames
for IP address range 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255. Now I am using nmap
for this purpose but its not ideal at least with the parameters which I am
using: # nmap -sP -R 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.1-255 . With this nmap sends
ping to all hosts from the range but I don't actually care whether nodes
are
up or down - I only want to "dump" part of DNS information so this nmap
solution
is too heavy.

Thanks,
P.
