Larry,
I am afraid you are incorrect. ping with the -a will return a valid DNS A
record as the below output shows......

However it will appear they are the same if the IP you ping does NOT have a

On NT 4 and 98se "ping" and "ping -a" return the same result. It appears
they don't complain about the "-a" but it doesn't do anything.
