 whois(1) already uses that service. That's how, for example,
 'whois denic.de' works.
 
 However, the WHOIS server at de.whois-servers.net cannot tell you
 about 'de', only '<something>.de'. The WHOIS server that knows about
 top-levels domains themselves (ie, uk, de, com, int, ...) is
 whois.iana.org.
