A while ago I had a situation that when doing a ping or nslookup on an IPv4 address in Windows, it would not show the name through reverse lookup, but tracert could.
It is not quite the same as what happened in these posts:
- [WayBack] windows – nslookup and tracert inconsistencies – Server Fault
- [WayBack] domain name system – IP address used by nslookup and ping is different – Server Fault
- [WayBack] domain name system – Is it possible to trace the delegation path for a DNS lookup? – Server Fault
This post is basically a place to put notes in when this ever happens again.
