Well, the problem with trying to find out a domain's IP address is that they aren't just one server. Typically, sites are a conglomerate of servers, like delicious.com. I can look up a few IP addresses, and I'll post the results, but here's how you can do it on a windows machine.

1. Start --> Run
2. Type in "cmd" into run and click "ok".
3. Type in "tracert http://www.delicious.com/"

This will connect and record every server's IP address that your computer comes into contact with while connecting to delicious.com. There may not be more than 15 servers though, because half of the connections timed out, which means that they couldn't make a connection.

76.13.6.175 appears to be (at least one of) the IP address for Delicious.com. That's the IP that comes up whenever I ping it. Unfortunately, visiting it directly brings up a Yahoo error page.

Yahoo might also have a load balancer sending different requests to different IPs, but out of the 10 pings I made (and a few traceroutes), that's the IP that kept being returned for me.

This "ping" function should be preferred to the "tracert" given elsewhere.

Note: ping first queries the DNS (which gives the domain --> IP translation), then launches queries to the machine. The queries might fail... but you don't care since you have the IP address.

Using tracert gives the same info in the first lines (target IP address), but the info it displays after (which is in fact repeated pings to all the computer on the path to the target) is much more (uselessly) detailed

1 - You have complete details when looking at
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://delicious.com

2 - Just being curious: why do you need the IP? Depending on the technical solution for a given site, it might answer to one IP connection from several IP addresses, or have one IP that it shares with no othe site, or it might share the same IP with lots of other sites.
And IP may change over time (eg: look at http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=delicious.com ) while the site and domain name would remain unchanged.
Well, in the special cas of delicious.com this is NOT true since it had (and still has) an avatar http://del.icio.us
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=del.icio.us
