Confirming DNS name matches local host name

[Charles Derykus]

Given an internet IP, is there a way to retrieve what the host at that IP
actually calls itself. In other words, I want to confirm that what DNS
says actually matches the local host name.

I thought telneting in through the "smtp" port and capturing the output 
would be an option but the "smtp" output resists capture.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
