In this case we’re going to use the method GetHostAddresses of the Dns class of the Sytem.Net namespace.
For PowerShell 2.0 you can use following Windows PowerShell One Liners:
Name to IP Address (DNS Forward)
1
2
| [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses('graef.io')
[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses('graef.io').IPAddressToString
|
IP Address to Name (DNS Reverse)
1
2
3
4
5
| [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostbyAddress('85.13.135.42')
HostName Aliases AddressList
-------- ------- -----------
graef.io {} {85.13.135.42}

As of PowerShell 4.0 you can use the Cmdlet Resolve-DnsName as well as for both Forward and Reverse:
