If I ran the commands:

Nslookup
>set type=any
>162.56.160.66.in-addr.arpa
>56.160.66.in-addr.arpa
>160.66.in-addr.arpa

could any of these commands cause I'll effects on our
network or are they strictly for gathering information.

I would also like to attempt to find out what the PTR
records are for our domain.  However, we only host our own
internal DNS...our ISP is hosts our external DNS (whatever
you call it - domain service of record??)

Do I need to contact our ISP to obtain these records?

Thank you for any help you can offer on this subjects.

If you can direct me to resources so I can learn more
about the Nslookup command it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Nslookup commands should not cause any problems as they are strictly
queries and do not make any configuration changes.

If you want to look at the PTR records hosted by your ISP you can use the
nslookup "server" command to change the server being used to your ISPs DNS
server.
Thanks,
Marc Reynolds

Just an FYI - in nslookup, you can use "set type=ptr" and then type in the
IP address normally - 66.160.56.162 from your example.
nslookup will create the correct reverse query for you.
