There is a tool on many systems (including MiaVX1) called NSLookup that allows
you to look up name server entries for a particular host.  For instance, if
you type NSLookup MiaVX1.MUOhio.Edu <Enter> at the $ prompt, you'll get this
response:
 
        $ nslookup miavx1.muohio.edu
        Server:  musrv.acs.muohio.edu
        Address:  134.53.253.1
 
        Name:    miavx1.acs.muohio.edu
        Address:  134.53.7.10
        Aliases:  MIAVX1.MUOHIO.EDU
        $
 
Just typing NSLookup <Enter> at the $ prompt will place you at > prompt from
which you can type Help <Enter> to find out more about performing name server
queries.
