ARIN is deploying an improved Whois service called Whois-RWS on 26 June
2010. When using the Whois-RWS you will notice some differences in
behavior for certain queries and corresponding result sets on the
NICNAME/WHOIS port 43 service. Detailed documentation on these
differences is now available at:
https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/whois_diff.html
ARIN’s Directory Service for registration data has used the
NICNAME/WHOIS protocol since its inception. The limitations of the
NICNAME/WHOIS protocol are well known and documented in RFC3912.
Whois-RWS was created as an alternative to the ARIN Whois and will
provide much richer functionality and capability to the community.
A demo of this service has been available since October 2009. The
demonstration service is available at:
http://whoisrws-demo.arin.net.
ARIN continues to welcome community participation on the Whois-RWS
mailing list, and we invite you to subscribe and share your thoughts and
suggestions at:
http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-whoisrws
More detailed information on these changes and other future features
that may impact the community at ARIN is available at:
