Thanks, but again this seems unnecessarily complicated. Why can't your whois server do this for me as .com/.net are, and .org used to be?

Your wish is my command :) I've had this sublookup feature in the completewhois test code for next version for several months, but did not think it was usefull being released on its own. Most of the new code for creating "summary portion" of domain whois is now ready, so I'll release it week earlier then planned as a christmas/hanukkah holiday gift, happy holidays! Note: Currently supported by new code are .com/.net/.org/.info/.biz/.us/.cc/.la In the future all country tlds and other main tlds will also have similar crsnic-like summary created at the top with nameservers taken from dns zone and rest of the info from internal pre-defined info for that tld or from whois [root@sokol /]# whois -h completewhois.com nanog.org [completewhois.com] Elan Completewhois.Com Whois Server, Version 0.91a2, compiled on Dec 22, 2003 Please see http://www.completewhois.com/help.htm for command-line options Use of this server and any information obtained here is allowed only if you follor our policies at http://www.completewhois.com/policies.htm [DOMAIN whois information on NANOG.ORG ] [Query Origin: Main Whois Query f Domain Name: NANOG.ORG Namespace: ICANN General Use Top Level Domain - http://www.icann.org TLD Info: http://www.iana.org/root-whois/org.htm Registry: Public Interest Registry - http://www.pir.org Registrar: Network Solutions Inc.
