Adding a host record from a command line

Does anyone know of a way to add a host record to the forward lookup zone and
place a check in the box to create and associate pointer record from a
command line? I can use a command line to add each one separately but I want
the two to be associated with each other.

Have you tried DNSCMD? Install the Windows Support Tools (from the cdrom) to
obtain it (and about 40 other tools).

I have gone through the DNSCMD command and cannot find something to put a
check in the PTR box. I was hoping someone knew what the syntax (or switch)
may be to have the pointer record automatically be created in the reverse
lookup zone when a record is added (via command line) in the forward lookup
zone.

I don't believe there is a direct way with the one command line when you are
adding the Forward Lookup Zone record. It will need to be two separate
commands, one for the host record in it's zone, and one for the reverse
record in it's zone.
