Yup, I run mine on a linux box. By default, linux whois hits Arin, Or RIPE..etc. Then if the org has a private whois server it will hit it. Where everything else just hits arin and thats it. Notice how it hits both below.
Running 'whois '208.64.123.177''... [Querying whois.arin.net] [Redirected to rwhois.blacklotus.net:4321] [Querying rwhois.blacklotus.net] I have a php script that makes this web-accessible. Anyone that wants to use it is free to http://whois.141networks.com. However, That is hosted from my personal residence so be gentle. :D //me might move it to the colo here soon though..
