DNS stuff

To look up a domain in the root servers:

  1. Bring up a DOS window
  2. type   nslookup www.xxxxx.com a.root-servers.net
  3. Note that by default, after nslookup looks in the root servers, it will look at ours if it doesn't find xxxxx.com.

To look up a domain outside of our network:

  1. nslookup www.xxxxx.com bitsy.mit.edu
