It looks to me like whois.aunic.net is having troubles with it's IP blacklisting - it's giving me the same result, and I've certainly not been doing many whois queries in the past day or so (and I'm on a fixed IP, so it's not a dynamic IP problem). If you ask whois.ausregistry.net.au directly you get the info OK, so I'd just do that and ignore aunic (for com.au enquiries, anyway). I guess whois should be patched to ask ausregistry for .com.au domains... - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
