DNS lookup

I need to find a way to do a DNS lookup of a list of ips (at least 250
entries), get their corresponding hostnames and produce a report.

It sounds very simple, an I implemented it with "nslookup ip" (loop for 250
times).
I tried "host -al" (which produces a long list of host, so that with PERL
one can do a match).  The problem with this is that the output did not
contain any of the entries in the of ips I was looking for.

Can someone please come to my aid?

So say I have a file:

IP                 Some title      Some title
------------------------------------------------
190.10.0.1       lkdklkdk         dklkdlkd
190.0.2.3        dkjdjd            dolkldk

------------------------------------------------

I need to produce something like this:

IP                  Hostname       Some title     Some title
-----------------------------------------------------------
190.10.0.1           tiger         lkdklkdk        dklkdlkd
190.0.2.3            lion          dkjdjd          dolkldk
-----------------------------------------------------------


With my current (using nslookup) takes a some time for a long list of ips.
