Hello,
	I'm going to be bringing a network analyzer (sniffer) into our 
department and it displays the Ethernet number (for example: 8:0:2b:18:96:bf).
I would prefer to look at the host name (for example: foo.cs.washington.edu).
So what I  would like to be able to do is to get the names from all the 
machine numbers in the department (~100 or so). Has anybody did this or know
how or know what to do...? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. If you e-mail
me, I could post a summary if theres interest.
