You can also get the same info with the 'whois' utility by giving it
the IP.  For some versions of whois you may need to explicitly point
at ARIN by using one of:


whois -h whois.arin.net x.x.x.x
whois x.x.x.x at whois.arin.net


BSD derived versions take just the IP and RedHat takes the x at server
version (IMSMR).
