Normaly I use nslookup ipadress for this but iPXE doesn't give the right result.

nslookup hostname ${ip}
Return the ip in the variable named hostname and not the hostname of the machine.

Is there a work-a-round for this? How do I fill the hostname value with the correct name? (DNS PTR records / reverse lookup)

There is no support for PTR record lookup in iPXE. What is the use case for which you need to do this?
