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

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?

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!
