On this subject, is there a mirror for TW Nic whois information ? I get nothing from http://whois.twnic.net/ or a direct whois query to twnic.net.
whois.twnic.net.tw works.

Thanks to all for your help. The problem I have is a little more subtle - the records are messed up. In my BGP tables I see *> 61.57.240.0/22 63.210.25.153 0 0 3356 15412 17709 18415 i *> 61.57.240.0/20 63.210.25.153 0 0 3356 15412 17709 18415 i Arin says that is comes from APNIC, APNIC says -bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.apnic.net 61.57.240.0 [whois.apnic.net] % [whois.apnic.net node-2] % Whois data copyright terms http://www.apnic.net/db/dbcopyright.html inetnum: 61.56.0.0 - 61.67.255.255 netname: TWNIC-TW descr: Taiwan Network Information Center descr: 4F-2, No. 9 Section 2, Roosevelt Road, descr: Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. country: TW (ditto for the ASN) But TWNic declaims all knowledge -bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net 61.57.240.0 [whois.twnic.net] The IPaddress not belong to TWNIC -bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net as18415 [whois.twnic.net] Network Error!! -bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net 18415 [whois.twnic.net] Network Error!! It was those "network errors" that made me think that TWNic whois was down. I since tried it for other TW AS and addr blocks and it works. So, its a mystery. APNIC says TWNIC, TWNIC declaims all knowledge. Maybe it's a new registration and will be announced in time. Regards Marshall Eubanks
