- One of the problems is that I don't have the correct access to be changing
- around these files (and I probably don't have anough UNIX knowledge either
- though it would be a lot of fun to try :) However, as many helpful people
- pointed out in e-mail, all I really needed to do was:
-
- nslookup <site-to-look-up> <name-server>
-
- All done quickly and beautifully on the command line.
