I am trying to find out where I can find the table that ISP's use to find the URL of a website given the WWW.WEBSITENAME.com. Is it available as a download somewhere?

Hi there,

My answer would be no, as per my understanding it is obtained from the log file generated by the web server.

you can use commands like nslookup and dig on linux
or use the web uwhois.com to find the ipaddress-url pair.
Basically they hit the DNS root-servers and get the information
form the local NameServers.
