reverse resolv with hosts file

I have a cluster that is using the hosts file for name lookup. Forward
resolve works, i.e. blade-1 resolves to 192.168.70.131, but the reverse
resolve does not work. How can I get it to reverse resolve, i.e.
192.168.70.131 resolving to blade-1?


This is causing me problems with OpenSSH host-based authentication.


Thanks,

Chris

Unfortunatley openssh does not like the /etc/hosts file. It uses the new
ip6 aware gethostdata (I think it is ) which behaves badly wrt the hosts
file.
