Did you try searching the www.deja.com archives?

206.190.23.208 is the address of the lame server, which is named
NS1.CENTPOURCENT.COM.

You may not be able to send mail to netparade.com.  If their nameserver is
lame, you may not be able to look anything up in their domain.

According to WHOIS, the zone contact for this domain is:

   Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
      MARCY, Christophe  (CM2256)  centpourcent at CENTPOURCENT.COM
      +33 3 28 38 98 00 (FAX) +33 3 28 38 98 01

so you could try sending mail to that address.
