For a while now, I've been using a whois wrapper written by Greg
Woods. It works very well, querying the appropriate registrars
for .com, .net, .org, etc., as well as country-specific TLDs. IP
requests are handled as well. Using this would solve all the
problems that I've read in this thread, without requiring
modifications to 'whois' itself.
