Which domain/host do you need record for? I can try to find info through some backdoors but even that may not work any more... And do note that system with dns hosts & ips has changed as of year ago, ips are no longer needed for registered hosts (unless the domain is also the same the nameservers listed for it), dns servers must lookup proper ip of nameserver by resolving host names. And if change is needed for ip (when for host in the same domain), it is done through interface provided by the registrar that is related to that domain. As such almost all registrars no longer associate contacts with hosts but only associate hosts with their proper domains and often do not even list ip there. On Wed, 12 Mar 2003, Crist J.
