Convert ip-addresses in file with hostname

Hi all!

I am working on a project in which there's something to be done with
which I need a little help: a file containing lines with ip-addresses
which should be replaced by the hostname of the servers instead of the
ip-addresses.

I tried several ways, without succes. Most close I came with a "for i"
statement
and a AWK {print $5} construction. However, I need some directives to
complete the job of the conversion from the ip-address to the
hostname. what do I use?
nslookup, dig, hostname?

I assumed something like this:

hosts=/tmp/temprep0

for ip in $hosts ; do
if [ ".$host" = 10.65. ] ; then
for i in `netstat -in | awk
'{if(substr($1,1,1)!="N")print$1}' | sed 's/\*//g'` ; do
ifconfig $i
done
continue
fi
sed 's/$/ /' < /etc/hosts > $tmp2 || die "sed failed"
grep -i "[  ]$host[  ]" $tmp2 > $tmp
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
head -1 $tmp | awk '{printf("%-30s  %s\n",$2,$1)}'
else
if [ -r /etc/resolv.conf ] ; then
nslookup $host 2>&1 | sed 's/[  ]*,[  ]*/ /' >
$tmp
fgrep '***' $tmp > /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
echo "$prog: host '$host' not found" 1>&2
continue
fi

Anyone?

Thanx in advance

That assumes you have 'getent', which on my HP-UX boxes I do not...
