getHostName() is the correct interface, but there is a bug in getByName
that sets the hosts "name" to the IP address so that getHostName
just returns it rather than doing the reverse lookup.
This should work:
byte addr[] = {129, 144, 86, 116};
String host = new InetAddress(null, addr).getHostName();
