Rails - Aug 2007 - How does one find the DNS address of their website?

I hope this question is appropriate for this forum and hope it is an
easy one? When I look at my, or any domain in WHOIS I find where it is
being hosted (if any) but not what the DNS address is of the domain
page?
The reason I am asking this question is that I wish to point many of
my distinct domains to one of my domain''s and then use a CNAME to
point this to the hosting service''s address.
Thank you,
Kathy

Hi Kathy, you can use sites like dnsstuff.com to find the name servers 
for your domain or if you are on a *nix or os x platform you can run 
''dig mydomain.com ns'' which will return the name servers.

Hope this helps.
