See:

and also:

Below is the initialisation section from my modified version of the
'rblookup' script that comes with 'host' (let me know if anyone would
like the whole script -- I e-mailed the patches to Eric but have yet to
see a new release, so I guess I should update it again and mail a new
set off again! ;-)

# added to over time. This service was originally called the ORCA
# DUL, and was operated at "dul.orca.bc.ca". The MAPS project invited
# Al Iverson, the then-current DUL maintainer, to host it on their
