This sounds like a welcome addition except for the fact that I'm wondering what will happen if 20 other countries need to have their servers added to whois. We cannot really use the same strategy without adopting a bigger alphabet :-) Wouldn't a more scalable solution be to accept the -s flag followed by a country code like so: whois -s SE whois -s BE whois -s DE whois -s NL ? The '-s' would than stand for 'server'. Cheers, Jeroen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
