I hope this is the right newsgroup for my question: 

how do you find out the host numeric addess (eg 128.x.x.x) if you only
know its name like foo.bar.edu? 

Nicname and whois only work partially. If a site is not registered
at some location, how can you find out this numeric address besides
sending mail to root@foo.bar.edu?

Thank you very much for your time,

Brian
