Lots of toys can be found on one of my favourite DNS website: www.dnsstuff.com. The authority of the above information can be found here: www.internic.net. Try searching my IP address (will post to http://www.internic.net/whois.html) by just clicking Submit (or try yours).

Search (.aero, .arpa, .biz, .cat, .com, .coop, .edu, .info, .int, .jobs, .mobi, .museum, .name, .net, .org, .pro, or .travel) :

Domain (ex. jiinjoo.com)
Registrar (ex. SCHLUND+PARTNER AG)
Nameserver (ex. NS47.1AND1.COM or 217.160.224.130)

Search for “Domain Name Server” or “DNS” to learn more about these stuff.
