Your DNS for DNS2.PIXEXCEL.CO.UK points 80.71.1.76, but I get: # whois -h whois.crsnic.net 80.71.1.76 ... Server Name: NS1.ZONESEEKERS.COM IP Address: 80.71.1.76 Registrar: MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE Whois Server: whois.inww.com Referral URL: http://www.inww.com When doing a query at NSI's whois server, you can "expand" your query to show full records for multiple matches if you prepend your query with an "=" character. Note that the record for DNS2.PIXEXCEL.CO.UK at Network Solutions is *not* the authoritative registrar for that host. You can always find who's authoritative for a host or IP by asking whois.crsnic.net. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Development / Abuse / Whatever vox: +1 416 598-0000 IT Canada http://www.it.ca/
