Find primary IP address
Hi there,
I have a 'dedicated' ip address that is an alias for a user homepage on a shared account, i.e. I have an ip address like 1.2.3.4 where http://1.2.3.4 takes you to my homepage, which is really at http://5.6.7.8/~username. I need to figure out the primary address (i.e. 5.6.7.8) based on the secondary one that I know (i.e. 1.2.3.4). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

it may just be a redirect
http://1.2.3.4 and http://1.2.3.4/~username/ and http://5.6.7.8/~username/
all take you to username's homepage, while http://5.6.7.8/ takes you to the typical cPanel, "No site is configured at this address" page.

Hey guys,
I never did figure this out completely, but the larger problem which caused me to ask the question got solved, so no big deal. Thanks anyway for the help!

well, it really looks like a redirect to me, are 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8 both public ips, or are they domain names?
