For those folks who can't build nameservice on their machine, and
need to discover the internet number of a site mentioned in news
I have put up the following service on ccnext.ucsf.edu:

telnet 128.218.1.109 5555
(type in the host name)
<program returns the internet number, or one of about 5 error messages>
Connection closed.

This is a temporary kluge until folks are able to do the following:

Everyone with BSD is much encouraged to re-link your programs with the
nameservice routines, available via anonymous ftp on ucbvax.berkeley.edu
128.32.133.1 or ucbarpa.berkeley.edu 128.32.130.11, in a file in
~ftp/pub/4.3/bind.4.8.tar on either machine.  This package contains a
lot more than just the resolver routines, but they are all you really
need, in bind/res.  You don't have to run "named".  This package
produces a library called libresolv.a which you link with things like
talk, ftp, telnet, etc.   When you have done this you'll no longer need
the /etc/hosts file on your machine.

It may be a permanent solution if no one writes resolver routines for
VMS and other operating systems.

I'll be happy to supply the source of the server, please put this up
on other sites.  My service MAY disappear without notice.
