You would think this would work fine: # whois tester.co [Querying whois.internic.net] [whois.internic.net] Whois Server Version 2.0 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. No match for domain "TESTER.CO". >>> Last update of whois database: Tue, 11 Sep 2012 01:18:48 UTC <<< [blah blah] But when I type; dig +short cname co.whois-servers.net whois.nic.co. Then using that I type this; whois -h whois.nic.co tester.co [Querying whois.nic.co] [whois.nic.co] Domain Name: TESTER.CO Domain ID: D1568321-CO Sponsoring Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.

Is there a way to convert my thin client to a thick client? Does anyone know of a way to legally circumvent any issues with rate limiting? (I already know the naughty way obviously.) |

Sadly, there is no central whois server that can provide answers for all TLDs. Traditional clients would always ask whois.internic.net (or nic.ddn.mil if you're old enough!). Newer replacements come bundled with a lookup table that guesses which whois server to contact based on the request. One of these is called bw-whois - there are other implementations floating about that do the same thing. Look in your distro's repositories for alternative whois clients. |
