Works for me, thanks. I forgot exactly which IPs this was about right now though :) On Fri, 21 Nov 2014 at 05:12 Siegel, David <David.Siegel@level3.com> wrote:
We decommissioned our rwhois server, but apparently we didn't get DNS cleaned up (which we'll do in the near future).
The closest thing we have to that is our whois server rr.level3.net, or if that doesn't quite meet your needs, you can contact our security department at abuse@level3.net.

It's nice to see someone is using RWHOIS. Back when I wrote the RWHOIS daemon for HE I spoke with Mark Kosters (one of the authors of RFC 2167). I wish I still had the emails because at the time he was shocked anyone would create software for something that no one really uses. I seem to recall him calling it a waste of time ;-)
That said... I'm seeing Level 3's RWHOIS down as well. And to be honest, they're probably not monitoring it.
