What you  get  from  "whois" is the  DNS  servers and  their respective
 IP  addresses; DNS has  nothing specific to do  with  WWW.

(BTW, could you maybe follow the common "one space between words"
convention? it makes your writing much easier to read when there are
extra spaces scattered about like so much sawdust.  If you're quoting
something, try using "this" rather than  this  so the words are evenly
spaced.)

----SAMPLE COMMANDS AND OUTPUT---

$ nslookup www.ft.com
[...]
Name:    www.ft.com
Address:  194.196.73.41

$ whois ft.com
[...]
   Domain servers in listed order:

   INETGATE.FT.COM              194.72.129.130
   NS0.BT.NET                   194.72.6.51
   NS.UK.IBM.NET                152.158.16.48

$ cat .signature; exit
