I'm feeling really dumb asking this, but how does one get host info out of Network Solutions WHOIS these days?
I want to look up the contact info on a host. I can get the IP from the hostname and vice-versa along with the registrar, but I can't figure out how to get the full record. "Nameserver" queries don't seem to work on whois.networksolutions.com anymore, and the records for zones that I know use the server no longer include the NIC handle for the nameservers.
I usually use 'whois.crsnic.net': jazz% whois -h whois.crsnic.net ns1.dreamhost.com Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. Server Name: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM IP Address: 66.33.206.206 Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC. Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com What's odd is that the Network Solutions whois server doesn't give out this information anymore, even for domains registered through NetSol / Verisign. jazz% whois -h whois.networksolutions.com "HOST ns1.dreamhost.com" [snip disclaimer] No match for host "NS1.DREAMHOST.COM". This format used to work. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American? Dissent's not treason but they talk like it's the same..." (Sleater-Kinney - "Combat Rock")
