Not quite. The domain is returned but not the full URL. I see now it's a bit like searching for a street address but the map you have only shows the town name...

..

A URL is composed of the following parts:

scheme://[user:password@]domain:port/path?query_string#fragment_id

The most you're going to get from an IP is the domain. The DNS system has no knowledge of actual URLs.

I suggest reading up on the Wikipedia entry for URL to get a better understanding of what each part means.

Thanks for the link, I have started reading it and beginning to better understand it all. I freely admit my ignorance about net stuff.
