I guess whois is broken again, at least partially... I was hunting the HylaFax home page, and went off to whois(1) 'tpc.int'... who aren't listed. There isn't something I should know, is there?
The int TLD is not handled by the InterNIC, it's handled by USC-ISI, as revealed by a query of InterNIC's servers.
Aha! Hadn't even thought about that...
But you can't do a whois of tpc.int using nii.isi.edu, the whois server that you use to do whois queries on .US subdomains.
Well a rwhois(client) call to nii.isi.edu done thusly, rwhois -h nii.isi.edu:43 fp.k12.wa.us Returns : Referral Whois (RWhois) spec version 1.0 (InterNIC V-1.0BETA4) Connecting to [nii.isi.edu] port [43] -> command line server RWhois Server at nii-server.isi.edu version V-1.0: Connecting to [rwhois.internic.net] port [4321] Punt referral to higher authority ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Connecting to [rwhois] port [0] Punt referral to higher authority <ERROR> Can't find host 'rwhois'. Punt to higher authority , Hunh.... ! It seems they don't supply whois info for areas below the us. ? Os is it more on the line that they delegate to 'someone' but then don't supply who someone is thru whois ?
Indeed?
Perhaps you should ask ISI why they don't provide whois info, or perhaps you can ask who does??
That would be a Bill Manning question, wouldn't it?
Well Bill ??????
