Whilst that's almost certainly right, I had a lot of trouble finding a
google search that _didn't_ return something relevant as it's first hit
(such as ARIN's whois, or one of several guides on how to use dig/etc for
reverse DNS).
Of course, they don't teach google in any certification I've come across
either, but...
