Package: whois
Version: 5.2.14
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Recently (past week?) something changed in the whois servers and we
started to
get much less information about domains.
Previously there were entries for "Admin Name:", "Tech Name:" and so on.
After
the change these additional details disappeared and we were left with
only the
base info such as "Domain Name:", "Registrar:" and "Name Server:".
I've upgraded to latest whois 5.2.17, which brought the detailed info back.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for nameserver queries. For example the
following command used to work:
$ whois -H ns1.google.com
No match for domain "NS1.GOOGLE.COM".
I can get the previous result if I specify a particular whois server:
$ whois -H ns1.google.com -h whois.verisign-grs.com
Server Name: NS1.GOOGLE.COM
IP Address: 216.239.32.10
Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc.
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.markmonitor.com
Registrar URL: http://www.markmonitor.com
>>> Last update of whois database: 2017-07-31T10:37:43Z <<<
Best regards,
Teodor
