	Can anyone tell me a reliable way to find the site name associated
with a given IP address?  Example:  say I have address 128.114.133.1 which
happens to be a local machine ssyx.ucsc.edu.  Now if I didn't know that, how
would I figure out the site name short of ftping or telneting, or looking in
HOSTS.TXT?  Anyone?

Thanks,

Jon
