You can pick up the ported nslookup from www.3k.com. Enable DNS (resolution;
you don't need to be RUNNING a nameserver on your 3000 to resolve names) by
setting up RESLVCNF.NET.SYS (see example file RSLVSAMP.NET.SYS).

Then just do something like this(example from one of our 3000s):

:nslookup.sys.threek
Default Server:  tasha.3k.com
Address:  198.151.172.50

> 164.109.10.23
Server:  tasha.3k.com
Address:  198.151.172.50

Name:    ns2.digex.net
Address:  164.109.10.23

> exit

..just type an IP address in nslookup and by default it'll resolve the
name of the node for you. This works the same on any Unix system (this is
the same nslookup program from the Unix world after all).
