There has been a lookup dnslookup in splunk for a long time now.
name to ip:

| lookup dnslookup clienthost AS host OUTPUT clientip as ip

ip to name:

| lookup dnslookup clientip AS ip OUTPUT clienthost AS host

hello there
if you have lookup table that contains the ip and the host and the fields are: ip, host lets call it dns.csv and you have a search that capture the host
you can run the following search using the lookup command
... your search to find host ... | lookup dns.csv host OUTPUTNEW ip ...

very nice explanation here:

hope it helps

That's not a reverse DNS lookup, that's a table lookup.

I think the assumption (and MY question) is that you don't have a csv file...
