https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210892 rday <ryan@ryanday.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ryan@ryanday.net --- Comment #1 from rday <ryan@ryanday.net> --- Created attachment 173085 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D173085&action= =3Dedit Patch for 210892 It looks like this is a side effect from a fix for a redirect bug. The fix = was introduced in commit 3389187e4b646b62f4754a92855389d967de816f (in the github repo). The original problem was whois didn't follow certain redirects correctly, a= nd wouldn't give accurate information (the U of M example). There was a possible loop with APNIC however. The response from APNIC for t= he IP in this bug report would match the ERX-NETBLOCK, be redirected to ARIN, which would then redirect back to APNIC. I've proposed a patch which fixes the problem. But I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of the whois system. The original author probably has much = more insight as to whether this solution is acceptable. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
