> Default Server:  named1.tmm.net
> Address:  208.0.204.50

> Server:  named1.tmm.net
> Address:  208.0.204.50

> Non-authoritative answer:
> Name:    cpe-24-221-189-144.ca.sprintbbd.net
> Address:  24.221.189.144

> > 24.221.189.144
> Server:  named1.tmm.net
> Address:  208.0.204.50

> Name:    cpe-24-221-189-144.ca.sprintbbd.net
> Address:  24.221.189.144
