What do you think that output is - the PTR is resolved to "localhost."

I find *host* easier to use, script, and more tersely informative than the other 
bind DNS utilities: the bind-utils Cygwin package contains DNS utilities:

	delv
	dig
	host
	mdig
	named-rrchecker
	nslookup
	nsupdate

and the lookups support most of the same arguments and options, with different 
names and defaults: host defaults to -t A -t AAAA -t MX, but host and nslookup 
only accept a single type, while dig accepts -t ANY; delv and mdig will do deep 
dives for DNSSEC and DNS; while named-rrchecker validates DNS RR inputs.
