in reply to Pulling IPv6 Address from Hostname
The basic way to find a host's IPv6 address is to use nslookup and query the AAAA record. For instance:
$ nslookup -q=AAAA pnrpv2.ipv6.microsoft.com ...(my DNS server details omitted)... Non-authoritative answer: pnrpv2.ipv6.microsoft.com has AAAA address 2002:4136:e383::4136: +e383 $
In theory, you can perform a reverse look-up for this IPv6 address by using:
Each hex digit of the IPv6 address is separated by a dot (.) and is specified in reverse order.$ nslookup -q=PTR 3.8.3.e.6.3.1.4.3.8.3.e.6.3.1.4.2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
