How can you translate ip address into "plaintext" Webaddress?

[Serval]

I am running RH 7.3 and am using Firestarter for my firewall app'. What I'd like to do is convert the numerical ip addresses that Firestarter displays (e.g. 66.102.234.9) into a plaintext address (e.g.

http://www.buyour_spam.com).

Long ago, I used to be able to run a Linux/Unix command that would translate the machineaddress into "plaintext, but alas, none of my reference books list the command.

What Linux command(s) would I use to accomplish this task?

Thanks!!

Just as an aside.. the &quot;dig&quot; command allows you to do the opposite... ie translate names to ip's and also find out other &quot;stuff&quot; about networks eg the name servers and mx's etc.
