RE: yes I wish reverse lookup from IPs on any server at the web!
any help?

Sure. What you want to do isn't possible.
DNS maps host names to IPs, not generally the other way around. You can lookup $reverse_ip.in-addr.arpa, and hope to get a hostname, but it won't be all hostnames on the IP address - it'll just be one hostname, and possibly not even one that will get you a web site.
Sorry.
The only way I can think of you even getting moderately close is to crawl through the .com domain zone file, checking each one for a web site at the other end and putting the IP into a DB of your own. Then you can do the reverse mapping on your web site. As you might imagine this only gets you moderately close to a solution.
Matt.
