Of course not. nbplkup sends out a message in terms of the text strings,
namely the name, type, and zone of an entity. Network number is not one of
the querry parameters.
What you really need is to either do a general nbplkup and grep for the
answer, or look at the aarp tables (I'm not sure of a utility to do this,
but the latter'd give you a hard ethernet address for the offender).
Good luck!
Take care,
Bill
