+'domtools' is a set of DNS information extraction utilities.
+
+The commands in the 'domtools' package allow you to traverse DNS domain
+hierarchies, list all hosts (or subdomains) within a given domain,
+convert host name to IP address and vice-versa, convert a normal IP address
+to the "in-addr.arpa." format and vice-versa, and more. These commands can be
+used manually, or included as building blocks for higher level DNS tools.
+They generate output that is easily computer parsable.

+See also the net/dlint port.
