This is probably best posted to the isp-dns list, but the short answer to your question is that the register.com whois server only shows results for domains registered through register.com: #whois -h whois.register.com hostsec.com [snip] Organization: Allan Liska Allan Liska [snip] Registrar Name....: Register.com Registrar Whois...: whois.register.com Registrar Homepage: http://www.register.com Domain Name: HOSTSEC.COM #whois -h whois.register.com allan.org No match for "allan.org". Your best bet when searching for domains is to query rs.internic.net, then query the appropriate registrar. allan -- allan allan@allan.org http://www.allan.org
