Package: whois Version: 5.1.1 Hi,
The IANA whois server (whois.iana.org) will issue referrals to all known domains, whether they are existing gTLDs, ccTLDs or the newer (whois.nic.<domain>). However, like the DNS, it is not authoritative and simply issues redirects. It would be nice if whois supported the redirection format -- roughly ".*refer: ([^ ])+$". Thanks, Anand
