Since the machine 'DSD.ES.COM' is **directly** connected to the Internet,
the NSLOOKUP command can be used to do some "hunting-and-fishing":
> nslookup
> set type=mx
> set debug
! Take a guess that the domain is 'UC' within the 'AC.NZ' domain.
> uc.ac.nz.
------------
QUESTIONS:
uc.ac.nz, type = MX, class = IN
AUTHORITY RECORDS:
-> ac.nz origin = truth.waikato.ac.nz
mail addr = soa.truth.waikato.ac.nz
serial=1992040801, refresh=43200, retry=600, expire=2592000, min=86400
------------
Failed: NXDOMAIN, num. answers = 0, ns = 1, additional = 0
*** can't find uc.ac.nz.: Non-existent domain
! Hmm. "Waikato" is a city, so let's try a different guess:
> canterbury.ac.nz.
