You can find the name server of ANY domain by doing a
"whois" on the domain name. For instance, if I do a
whois on Yahoo (from a unix command line), I get:
[ekummel@csserve0.corp.us.uu.net(tcsh):~ 1] whois
yahoo.com
Whois Server Version 1.1
Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can
now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to
http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
Domain Name: YAHOO.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: www.networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS3.EUROPE.YAHOO.COM
Name Server: NS1.YAHOO.COM
Name Server: NS2.DCA.YAHOO.COM
Name Server: NS5.DCX.YAHOO.COM
Updated Date: 24-jan-2000
Or if I go to www.internic.net and click on the
"whois" link, and do a whois on yahoo.com, I get the
same thing. So, that should take care of your
nameserver problem.
