Yes, I can *guess* what the handle is.  The point is that you can't get it
via whois.  You can *guess* that it $domain$x-DOM, but where is this
documented?   And why turn 2 whois queries into at least 3?  A whois on a
domain should at least return the handle - you think?

actually...my point was twofold.  yes, you can guess, but this doesn't
always work, as evidenced by antigua which is ag-dom1.

yes, the whois should return direct hits (eg, the domain itself and/or
the host).  first, at least.
