IQUERY is an obsolete DNS query type. It was meant to perform reverse lookups, much the way the in-addr.arpa domain is used for reverse lookups now. In some quite old RFCs, IQUERY clients were talked about to the effect of "the result is never used for anything useful." Newer documentations claim that old versions of nslookup are the only remaining applications using IQUERY. By default, BIND does not support IQUERYs. However, IQUERY can be enabled with the fake-iquery option, in which case the response for an IQUERY for 192.168.0.2 is the hostname [129.168.0.2] (with the brackets). This is clearly fake.
