I have AD with 2 Domain Controllers. I use WINS, DHCP, and I have an internal DNS. Here is my question.

When I ping with a "-a" then an ip address, should it come back with a hostname.domainname.com or should it just give me the hostname??

Example: ping -a 10.10.14.119

Pinging teststation [10.10.14.119] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.10.14.119: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.14.119: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

or

Example: ping -a 10.10.14.119

Pinging teststation.test.com [10.10.14.119] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.10.14.119: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.14.119: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

The reason I ask is I am trying to figure out if my DNS reverse lookup is working.

When I do a dig from one of my linux boxes I get the following:

ooida04:~ # dig -x 10.10.14.106

; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> -x 10.10.14.106

Hopefully I gave enough information.
