Did you have a poke about in the java.net package? All that you should need to use is in there.

import java.net.*;

public class IPLookup
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
InetAddress host;
host=InetAddress.getByName("www.yahoo.com");

System.out.println("Host IP address is " + host.getHostAddress());

}catch(UnknownHostException e)
{
System.out.println("Unable to find host");
}
}
}

There's the basic's for resolving a name to IP, you should be able to adapt

Take a look at the InetAddress class.
