How do you do a reverse lookup?

You'll need to use the reverse-hostname service.

The service can be run on any operating system that has DNS support. It takes a target domain name and returns the IP address of the server where the domain name resolves to. The service is usually provided by DNS servers, but it can also be provided by dedicated servers that act as reverse lookup proxies.

It is possible to use it from scripts, so it doesn't necessarily have to be done by a web browser.

How do you reverse dig?

I'm looking at a home that was built in 1959.

I found the original plans, as well as construction photos. The plans show a 10" reverse, and the builder said it was an original on his property. I don't believe him, but I don't have the money to go test it out. Any ideas?

Also, I know that you want a larger size than what's specified in the plans. If you reverse the dig and it is deeper than 16' (at least mine was), then you can put a sump pump. If it is less than 16', then I would have a major problem. You should be able to measure it with a laser level and mark the ground for a sump and liner. That would be my plan.

If the floor is concrete, it should be fine. If it is dirt, then it might be a problem.

But even if you have a sump pump, and you can dig it out and put a liner over it, it will still drain if the liner isn't wide enough. The sump pump will only keep the water from pooling in the area of the liner, not keep it from getting into the house.

Not only that, but you might have a problem getting any kind of plumbing down there. If you dig down that far you might run into septic or something else that doesn't deal well with water.

I've seen a lot of homes that get built on the edge of a river and they have all kinds of problems when they try to sell their property. There's just no way to tell how deep that ditch is without digging it up.

It is a reverse dig. I'm not sure how far it was from the house. The builder said the ditch was 10', but I'm not going to go test it myself.

What is an example of a reverse zone DNS?

A reverse zone is the database that maps domain names to IP addresses.

This is useful because a client can look up an IP address of an existing site (eg, google.com) and it will work. A reverse lookup tells you what IP address is associated with the domain name, like:
Nslookup google.com 168.1 ? One of the most important uses of reverse DNS is to block or prevent certain kinds of attacks. If a user tried to connect to an IP address that was associated with the domain name "google.com" but they were redirected to a different website (eg, porn.com), then they could use the reverse DNS lookup to see which IP address had been associated with that domain name.

The following are just a few examples of how this could be used. Web server attack mitigation. Block IP addresses associated with botnets. Prevent DNS poisoning. The problem with a reverse lookup is that it doesn't tell you anything about the type of connection to that IP address (eg, HTTPS, telnet, etc. Reverse DNS records are simply records that associate a domain name with a given IP address. The main reason they exist is to make sure that if your ISP changes your IP address, you don't lose your DNS records. It's a simple way to ensure that when you get a new IP address, you won't have to go through and update all your DNS records.
