Actually it has nothing to do with WINS. If all the ISP's would implement solid in-addr.arpa reverse mappings, this would go away. Microsoft's DNS resolver has been extended, when DNS lookups fail, to do a reverse NETBIOS query against the target machine so it can use its name when displaying stuff via NBTSTAT, etc. It was designed this way, before the Internet became popular.
The reverse on the name being queried works just fine: [OverKill]:/# nslookup www.stefcam.com Server: NS1.ENTERZONE.NET Address: 209.41.244.5 Name: STEFCAM.COM Address: 209.41.244.238 Aliases: www.stefcam.com [OverKill]:/# nslookup 209.41.244.238 Server: NS1.ENTERZONE.NET Address: 209.41.244.5 Name: StefCAM.Com Address: 209.41.244.238 ------- John Fraizer (root) | __ _ | The System Administrator | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice mailto:root () EnterZone Net | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU http://www.EnterZone.Net/ | /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation A 486 is a terrible thing to waste...
