Due diligence

[Wolfpaw - Dale Corse]

Not that easy.. you should probably audit accounting records.. but
I would say check httpd.conf, or whatever the main config file for
their webserver is.. likely you would find them in there. If it is
apache, you could use something like this:

grep 'ServerName' <file> > tmp

then: pico tmp

Once in pico, hit ctrl-c .. *shrug*.. that will tell you how many
lines are in the file.. should be one (or more) for each domain
name.. 

Again.. I would recommend you go by income / accounting records, not
by webserver config.. that can be easily configured for anything the
isp wants to configure it for.. it doesn't mean the domain name is
actually hosted their.. you'd have to whois them all to verify that.

Good Luck :)
