It depends on how your machines networking is set up.  Here are some
possibilities:

nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca		# ask DNS
/etc/nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca		# ditto - nslookup not in path
/usr/etc/nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca	# ditto - another place to look
fgrep dragon.acadiau.ca /etc/hosts	# the old-fashioned way
ypcat hosts | fgrep dragon.acadiau.ca	# ditto - shared under NIS
ypmatch dragon.acadiau.ca hosts		# ditto - more efficient NIS query

With luck, one of these will work for you.
