RE: [squid-users] RE: Numeric IP, in-addr issues

Adam,

Surely I can't do a whois lookup (altho i haven't tried) if my service
provider gives me just an IP but no dns entry?

I'm thinking if the trend started (blocking IPs), there must've been a good
reason. It is blocked even in my org.

Cheers,
Prash

You can do WHOIS lookups on IP addresses. This will give you the
organization responsible for that address, and you can contact them.
