Hello Guys,

This discussion started from this url: "ciscocert.custhelp.com"

When you do nslookup for this url, you will get the following IP
Address for the url:

Macintosh:~ henry$ nslookup ciscocert.custhelp.com
Server: 172.30.0.40
Address: 172.30.0.40#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ciscocert.custhelp.com
Address: 216.136.168.73

Next do nslookup for "www.cisco.com", you will get this IP Address for
the url..

Macintosh:~ henry$ nslookup www.cisco.com
Server: 172.30.0.40
Address: 172.30.0.40#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.cisco.com
Address: 198.133.219.25

Next go to "www.dnsstuff.com" and plug in the above IP Addresses, you
will discover that "ciscocert.custhelp.com" does not have any
connection with CISCO. You will see that it was registered by a HIDDEN
identity. On the other hand, you will discover that www.cisco.com was
duly registered by Cisco.

HTH.

Henry.
