No, but you could make an ajax call to your server. The php on the server would then find it for you and return an answer. Note the following is untested.

Jquery

$.getJSON('gethostbyname.php', function(data){
    alert('Php said: ' +  data.ip);
});

-- EDIT --

Php

<?php
    $ip = gethostbyname('www.foo.com');
    $data.ip = $ip;
?>

If you wan't the domain to be dynamic you will have to use JQuery ajax

What would you put in the 'gethostbyname.php' file – Chill Web Designs Sep 12 '11 at 12:46
Do you have to encode to get json response? – Chill Web Designs Sep 12 '11 at 13:26
Yes, json_encode($data); I think that would do it, I've never used getJSON though. – SuperPaperSam Sep 12 '11 at 13:34

Try the hostname property of the location object in your JavaScript:

window.location.hostname
