DNS in Java

[Ralph]

I want to program a tool which compares the actual hosts in a LAN with the
entries on the DNS server. How can I ask the DNS server which hostname belongs
to a certain IP?
I thank you very much for an answer.

Sun's 1.4 release of the SDK, which is still a beta version, seems to have
some new features that allow you to do something with DNS. Here is a link
you can look at for more information:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/re.../features.html

I do not believe that earlier versions of the SDK allow you to do what you
ask.
