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.
