Aye.. I see no mention of a whois.conf on either COL31 or OpenServer5 ....
I did find this via google search for 'whois.conf':
-a snippet from some BSD pages:
Whois uses the server listed in /etc/whois.conf, or the default NIC
(whois.internic.net). This can be overridden by the command line option:
-h
It sounds as though you stick a single line in this file, specifying the
whois server you wish to query, if it's not whois.internic.net and you are
getting tired of typing the 'h option ...
