Excellent! That's what I was looking for. Since I don't want to worry about
the port at this point, I've just used 0:

  ntalbott@proxytest:~$ ruby -rsocket -e 'p
  Socket::getnameinfo(["AF_INET", 0, "www.noblepack.com"])'
  ["205.178.141.161", "0"]

Works like a charm. Thanks Guy (and everyone else that contributed)!
