Re: ARIN Whois Update

[Network Operations Center <noc () nwrain net>]

        Hello All,   This -really- hinders the use of '.' in a
        query IE:

        whois -h whois.arin.net "net nwrain."

        or even

        whois -h whois.arin.net "net nwrain-arin."
        Especially since IT DOESN'T EXIST.

        What form of Regexp is being implimented for these Queries ?

                                Tia,  NOC (JimL)
