You need to use the host name, not the full URL. The hostname in the above is ftp.gwdg.de
try
host ftp.gwdg.de
It should tell you the address is 134.76.11.100
Thank You much that was the solution gave me the information that I need !! Does anyone have an explanation as to why dig gave me the same IP for two differnt servers though just out of cuiosity
