My rwhois script has been fixed and updated. The connection problem seems to be that one of the rwhois servers the Internic runs is down, but still in DNS. I have hard coded the working server for now. I added a link on the "host" output information to search for all the domains for which the host is a namesever. This is similar to the whois "SERVER <handle>" that so many people like. I have received several queries about this to know if you can get more than 256 hosts from rwhois (the limit with whois). The answer is, maybe. The internic servers have an upper limit of 50 objects on rwhois querys. You can, however run your own rwhois server and set the limit arbitrarily high, allowing someone to do this. I am attempting to setup a server to do this now, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to "mirror" the data from the Internic, or even what I need to mirror to make it happen. If someone can help me set up such a thing I'll offer (on a test basis anyway) the ability to do queries much larger than 256 hosts. The script can be seen in action at: http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/rwhois.cgi You can download it at: http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/rwhois.txt And, as before if you run it from the command line it produces output much like "whois". -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@dimension.net Network Engineer (CCIE #3440) - Dimension Enterprises 1-703-709-7500, fax, 1-703-709-7699
