dig @tld1.ultradns.net. whoareyou.ultradns.net.

Will tell you the IP you're talking to.

dig @tld1.ultradns.net. whoami.ultradns.net.

Will tell you who it thinks you are.

Unfortunately, neither of those is very helpful if the query is timing
out.  I think Rodney has mentioned that traceroutes are helpful in that
case, though.
