It works very well, querying the appropriate registrars for .com, .net, .org, etc., as well as country-specific TLDs. IP requests are handled as well. Using this would solve all the problems that I've read in this thread, without requiring modifications to 'whois' itself. ftp://ftp.weird.com/pub/local/awhois.sh Examples (output snipped): scapegoat gsutter ~ $awhois mircosoft.com Registrant: YELLOW AGENCY (MIRCOSOFT7-DOM) Domain Name: MIRCOSOFT.COM scapegoat gsutter ~ $awhois internic.ca Subdomain: internic.ca Organization: Internic.ca Inc. scapegoat gsutter ~ $awhois come.to Tonic whoisd V1.0 come ns.come.to 193.79.64.100 ns1.fortunecity.com 204.198.135.24 scapegoat gsutter ~ $awhois 204.71.200 Cable & Wireless USA (NETBLK-CW-PROVIDER) CW-PROVIDER 204.71.0.0 - 204.71.255.255 Internet Systems, Inc.
