Nslookup? ping works too. I use proxy services to filter website if you are interested to know. You can use Squid to filter website and control what user can access. It makes it more manageable you know, so you don't have to enter IP address and domain name all the time into the HOST file if you need users to access other website.

Ezproxy is free and good on individual computers if you have no need for a server. http://www.lavasoftware.net/
