As stated before:
[OverKill]:/# nslookup www.stefcam.com
Server: NS1.ENTERZONE.NET
Address: 209.41.244.5
Name: STEFCAM.COM
Address: 209.41.244.238
Aliases: www.stefcam.com
[OverKill]:/# nslookup 209.41.244.238
Server: NS1.ENTERZONE.NET
Address: 209.41.244.5
Name: StefCAM.Com
Address: 209.41.244.238
