Subject: Finding an IP-based address for a sub-domain

  Posted by: Guru - [330592710] Thu, Oct 19, 2006, 12:54
I'm trying to access some pages at the nfl.com site using an IP address instead of the domain name.

If I look up the IP for www.nfl.com, I get 64.30.236.35, which is the same as the sportsline.com IP address.

If I try to access the page:
http://nfl.com/

by using:
http://64.30.236.35/

I get the sportsline home page, not the nfl.com home page. I suspect that the nfl.com domain is a sub-domain of sportsline.com, and I would need to access it using something like:
http://64.30.236.35/xxxxx

where xxxxx is the name of some directory within the sportslinecom domain.

Short of trial and error, is there any way to look up or discern what the IP-based address is?

I found it using: ServerSniff

Click on "Subdomain" under "Nameserver" on the top menu. Entering "nfl.com" gives four or five nfl subdomains. I tried the "web1.nfl.com" IP addy and it works.

Not sure if this is too trial and error for your needs, but there it is.
