Conrad" <davidc () apnic net> Subject: Re: small vent One reason might be that clueless folk in the US that complain to APNIC or RIPE (or NANOG) directly instead of looking stuff up in the appropriate whois database ("ARIN has all the IP information, right?") and complaining to the people who can actually do something about the problem. [...]
Having to specify the proper database host on the whois command always struck me a bit like requiring every user to specify the appropriate server for, e.g. ".com", every time the user makes a DNS request. Why can't the registry folks get their collective act together and provide users with a system that allows a simple request like "whois name" to find the appropriate [piece] of the database. -tjs
