You mean like:

% ndb/dnsquery
> yahoo.com mx
yahoo.com mx	1 mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com mx	5 mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com mx	1 mx1.mail.yahoo.com
> mx1.mail.yahoo.com
mx1.mail.yahoo.com ip	64.157.4.84
mx1.mail.yahoo.com ip	64.157.4.83
mx1.mail.yahoo.com ip	64.156.215.5
mx1.mail.yahoo.com ip	64.157.4.82
> 64.157.4.84
84.4.157.64.in-addr.arpa ptr	mta-v14.level3.mail.yahoo.com(0)
>

Or do you want a program that does it?

I've been meaning to ask for a while:  the man pages are not very
clear (to the extent that I have been digging) about the format of
reverse DNS resolution.

Perhaps an example will help?  I haven't had much success with
experimentation and reading the source is always a little daunting.
