We are a small ISP located in auckland new zealand.. One of our broadband
clients are currently causing our network to to practically be down outside
of new zealand due to the large amount of traffic.
The offender is connected on the following IP Address..
adsl-068-209-154-249.sip.btr.bellsouth.net

By means of the dig tool (you can find an online interface at http://www.gont.com.ar/tools/dig )
You can ask for A records for that domain.
You'll get 68.209.154.249

Then query a whois server to get contact information for the people ersponsible for that block.

Here's the info I got:
