Message-ID: <1990Nov28.174510.27994@bellcore.bellcore.com> Date: 28 Nov 90 17:45:10 GMT Sender: usenet@bellcore.bellcore.com (Poster of News) Reply-To: Organization: Bellcore - Wierd Ideas Factory Lines: 11 Is there a defined protocol in the DNS for locating information about (say) MegaWidget Corporation in the top level domain servers? It would appear that i otherwise have to call someone in said organisation and find out what they are registered as. [e.g. megawidget.com, MWC.com etc] I can't believe i have to make my own databases from the monthly updates...
