Q.
What is the IP address of the site www.facebook.com ? Use ping to test
Of course as question expects the answer is found out by using ping alone.
Output
bob@caleston-lp10:~$ ping www.facebook.com

Hint : run: nslookup facebook.com
If questions ask to use ping and it gives same results as nslookup why do we need to mention hint for using nslookup and not ping www.facebook.com
Am I missing anything here in this question or rational of this question ?
