Message-ID: <1990Nov28.175602.28494@bellcore.bellcore.com> Date: 28 Nov 90 17:56:02 GMT Sender: usenet@bellcore.bellcore.com (Poster of News) Reply-To: Organization: Bellcore - Wierd Ideas Factory Lines: 13 I'd like to be able to do the equivalent of grep /etc/hosts in the top level domain. Say i'm looking for the person who handles e-mail requests for the MegaWidget Corp. i need to know how the organization is registered with DNS - without phoning up someone. is there any way in DNS to accomplish this? Or do i have to keep all the monthly updates of new domains registered, and search this with grep...
