Is there any way to find out who is hosting a DNS server? If I ping
apps.company.com and receive an IP address back, how can I find out who
resolved it?

Hi Vex,

I think you would do a "WhoIS" or you could do a "Reverse DNS" lookup and
find out who owns the IP that the domain points to.

There is a website that has a CGI form with a ton of tools, I think its
called "dnsStuff.net "or "dnsstuff.org" ? or something.

There might be a quicker way to do it even that I do not know about.

Regards,

Mike.
