faster or batch alternative to python's socket.gethostbyaddr()?

Is there a faster or batch alternative to socket.gethostbyaddr() for the purpose of determining the host, given an IP address? Thank you.

Solution

  • You can use dnspython module [1], look from_address function.

    Note: It's thread safe.
