Suppose "nslookup" does domain name to adress translation, "net" does
IP adress to IP net translation and finally "connect" gives the
connect information about IP networks (This information already is in
the RIPE DB), then

	connect ( net ( nslookup ( domain name ) ) )

does what you want.

What I want to say is: a domain name ( when used acessing a site ) can be
mapped onto an IP address.

Don't overload the DB with information (Current size: 7315558 Byte. We started
with some hundred KB).
