Its become common practice for NSI to not update the Whois in a timely fashion.. Dig and other tools are your friend to see if its live in the world.... jmb At 09:04 PM 3/28/99 -0500, you wrote:

Has anyone noticed that the whois database is not showing updates to objects?

What I mean is, although it shows...

Database last updated on 27-Mar-99 16:27:44 EST.

...objects are not showing up in the database.

Example:

We received confirmation on one of our clients domains:

From: Domain Registration Role Account <domreg@internic.net> Message-Id: <199903262007.PAA29021@mts2.internic.net> Subject: Re: [NIC-990326.839e] 1GIG.NET Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 15:07:36 -0500 (EST) Reply-To: domreg@internic.net To: John.Fraizer@EZ-Hosting.Com Cc: noc@ENTERZONE.NET X-Mailer: fastmail [version 2.4 PL24alpha4] X-UIDL: 227373416c861caaa4cc3d0efb76e90a

Registration for the domain name shown below has been completed.

Yet, a whois shows NOTHING:

[root@Overkill /root]# whois 1gig.net [rs.internic.net] No match for "1GIG.NET".

The InterNIC Registration Services database contains ONLY non-military and non-US Government Domains and contacts. Other associated whois servers: American Registry for Internet Numbers - whois.arin.net European IP Address Allocations - whois.ripe.net Asia Pacific IP Address Allocations - whois.apnic.net US Military - whois.nic.mil US Government - whois.nic.gov

But, it's in the zone file:

[root@Overkill /root]# nslookup Default Server: NS1.ENTERZONE.NET Address: 209.41.244.5

...

server ns.netsol.com Default Server: ns.netsol.com Address: 198.41.0.196

...

1gig.net Server: ns.netsol.com Address: 198.41.0.196

Non-authoritative answer: 1gig.net nameserver = NS1.ENTERZONE.NET 1gig.net nameserver = NS2.ENTERZONE.NET

Authoritative answers can be found from: 1gig.net nameserver = NS1.ENTERZONE.NET 1gig.net nameserver = NS2.ENTERZONE.NET NS1.ENTERZONE.NET internet address = 209.41.244.5 NS2.ENTERZONE.NET internet address = 209.41.244.6
