    Are you looking for just the name and domain name, or are
    you also looking for contact info that address? If so,
    and you are looking for that info from a non-UC address
    maybe you are looking for the whois command.

    The whois command (should be available on all systems
    with TCP/IP) queries the InterNIC and/or related
    servers for that kind of info. For example:

    "whois -h whois.arin.net 128.32.49.10" would return
    contact information for the address 128.32.49.10 as assigned
    by the regional Internet numbering authority. In this
    case, the record indicated UC Berkeley as the contact.

    The -h tells whois to query an alternate server,
    in this case the arin.net server, which handles
    Internet numbering (as oppossed to domain names).

    Hope that helps,
    -geoff
