I'm just curious, learning how >various look-up mechanisms work...jgo There is a program called "host" which is on many Unix systems (it may be a public domain program which must be found and installed) which is on the host I'm using. There is a man page, and typing man host give me the following info HOST(1) NAME host - look up host names using domain server SYNOPSIS ... So I gave the command host house.gov and the program gave me the following house.gov mail is handled by relay1.UU.NET house.gov mail is handled by news.UU.NET house.gov mail is handled by uunet.UU.NET but the command host senate.gov gives the result Host not found. The host program can get much more detailed information, and is a very interesting tool. Read the man pages for that info. --henry schaffer n c state univ

Pick your transport...you'll find host.[1c] in...
ftp tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/nameserver/
uucp osu-cis!~/nameserver/
(Don't forget that metachars don't work in uucp to osu-cis. Multiple
uucp commands are req'd.)
Thanx are due to Chuck Hedrick/Rutgers for having produced "host."
