    It's a bit of a vague question. You'll need to explain in detail what you're trying to do.

    Or, if you mean common A/CNAME Records you could use something like www.dnscheck.ie

    Well, generally 'big' websites can be accessed by many different ip addresses.
    Looking at this page, http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.cgi, boards.ie can be accessed by these ips for example -
    89.234.66.107
    89.234.66.108

    But that page isnt giving all ips for websites, it might give more than one but it is not giving them all. So Im wondering is it possible find all ips for certain websites.

    Looks like it is possible based on that site you posted - Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the commands used or processes involved to extract that information! Let us know if you find out though.

    The only other way I can think of is to, for example, ping www.boards.ie, copy and paste the IP Address into www.ripe.net and it'll give you a list of IP Addresses owned.

    Below you can see boards.ie own a /28 public subnet.

    inetnum: 89.234.66.96 - 89.234.66.111
    netname: BOARDS-IE
    rev-srv: ns05.digiweb.ie
    descr: boards.ie
    country: IE

    I find www.ip-lookup.net very useful

    All of them, no. Any large site will commonly use load balancers or NAT behind a router. You'll see the public IP, but that doesn't guarantee it's the web server IP. You're also at the whim of the DNS server if you're querying that, since it could be geo or load balanced also.

    Plus, some large companies use caching services such as Akamai.
