Effective Sunday, March 8, 1998 all ARIN Point of Contact (POC) handles will have a -ARIN extension. This is being done to differentiate between the various registry handles. All POC handles currently listed in the ARIN database will have the -ARIN extension added to them and newly created ARIN handles will include -ARIN. Searching for POC handles in ARIN's Whois requires the addition of the -ARIN extension to the handle, e.g., JS1-ARIN. Handle queries that do not use the -ARIN extention will result in a "no matches found". When submitting templates to ARIN please include the -ARIN extension when listing a pre-existing POC handle.

Hello All, This -really- hinders the use of '.' in a query IE: whois -h whois.arin.net "net nwrain." or even whois -h whois.arin.net "net nwrain-arin." Especially since IT DOESN'T EXIST. What form of Regexp is being implimented for these Queries ? Tia, NOC (JimL) On Fri, 6 Mar 1998, Kim Hubbard wrote:
