Hi,

When I look up a domain name hosted by NSI from OpenSRS's WHOIS CGI at
http://www.opensrs.org/cgi-bin/whois.cgi I get just a few lines of DNS
info with no contact information, and the following "disclaimer" or
"excuse" at the bottom of the results page:

"Recursive lookups are not possible through this interface at this time,
due to restrictions set by the current sponsoring registrar. For
registrant information on this name, please try your whois query directly
at whois.networksolutions.com."

But when I look up a domain hosted by OpenSRS via NSI's WHOIS CGI at
http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois I get a full result with no
"excuses".

Why is OpenSRS's WHOIS not able to do the job properly when looking up NSI
domains?  Is NSI actively blocking lookups by OpenSRS or what?

Best regards
Mike
