Hello All,

	Is there an NIC type information service which will list nonmilitary internet sites?

Thanks,

Dan

whois -h nic.ddn.mil 'partofname'
will return info on most Internet sites.  For information on a
.uiuc.edu domain address, say 'whois -h nic.ddn.mil uiuc.edu'.  For
information on sites containing the word 'Illinois', say 'whois -h
nic.ddn.mil Illinois'
I am including the explicit -h because NeXTSTEP 2.x's 'whois' still
has the old arpanet address for the NIC, and you must use the
nic.ddn.mil address nowadays.
Also, just because it is in the .mil domain, don't let it fool you -
it has a fairly complete list of every domain registered on the
whole Internet.    Note that you cannot say 'whois
ux1.cso.uiuc.edu'... it only knows domain names, not machine names.
