Hi,

I'd like to allow remote access (via ssh only) to a given machine.
Unfortunately, my remote IP is dynamic and reverse lookup
(e.g. specifying only_from = .skynet.be in /etc/xinetd.conf) doesn't work.
So, I have to find out which IP ranges are used by a given
internet provider (e.g. skynet.be).

Does anybody know how to find out?

Here's a quick and dirty trick:

$host skynet.be
skynet.be has address 195.238.10.70

$whois -H 195.238.10.70
<snip>
% Information related to '195.238.0.0 - 195.238.31.255'
inetnum:        195.238.0.0 - 195.238.31.255
netname:        SKYNET-B
descr:          Belgacom SA/NV
descr:          Internet access provider

As Paul said, though, asking them is more accurate.
