I have been working with one script called "dnswalk-2.0.2" by David Barr
<barr at cis.ohio-state.edu>. This script is built upon NET::DNS. This perl
script is meant for debugging DNS entries through to sub-domains.
Although the latest release is 1997 it still works and it might be what
your looking for to decipher ip addresses.
