I'd suspect a PTR record.  PTR records map IP's to host names.
'reverse dns lookups' work by querying the PTR record for a given
IP address, then taking the response from that request (if any)
and then queries for either a CNAME or A record to match the
hostname back to the originally queried IP address.
