Is there some kind of real-time WHOIS for .COM (and friends) which allows you to determine at least the corresponding registrar?

Since a couple of others have also suggested similar approaches, here's the actual problem (implied by the "real-time" part of the subject line 8-):
Last update of whois database: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 02:12:49 EDT <<<
In other words, this database lags considerably behind DNS. Someone has suggested to query all known registrars for the domain and hope that one of them has already updated its WHOIS server. This reduces the delay a little bit for some registrars, but is of course no general solution.
