Same for me from 2a01:d0::/32 telnet whois.ripe.net whois Trying 2001:67c:2e8:22::c100:687... Connected to whois.ripe.net.

When I try to contact whois.ripe.net (2001:67c:2e8:22::c100:687) or their REST server rest.db.ripe.net (2001:67c:2e8:22::c100:68e), it times out. Traceroutes from a couple of different places all seem to loop in Amsterdam, IPv4 is fine.
Am I special, or is it just broken?
