  Yep, nslookup (assuming DNS is set up properly with reverse entries):

jfrancis at ganymede:~ $ nslookup gnudist.gnu.org
Server:  phobos.frii.com
Address:  216.17.128.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    gnudist.gnu.org
Address:  198.186.203.18

jfrancis at ganymede:~ $ nslookup 198.186.203.18 
Server:  phobos.frii.com
Address:  216.17.128.1

Name:    gnudist.gnu.org
Address:  198.186.203.18

jfrancis at ganymede:~ $
