http://samspade.org has a good set of tools for checking across many whois 
servers, using the IPblock option. There are web-based and Windows tools
to perform the lookup.

If you need to use the whois servers directly, my top 8 list is:

Whois - APNIC (IP Asia Pacific) <http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl> 
Whois - ARIN (IP US)            <http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html> 
Whois - Ripe (IP Europe)        <http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois> 
Whois - Department of Defense   <http://www.nic.mil/cgi-bin/whois> 
Whois - InterNIC (Domain US)    <http://rs.internic.net/whois.html> 
Whois - NetworkSolutions (Domain US)
<http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois> 
Whois - Nominet (Domain UK)     <http://www.nic.uk/whois.html> 
Whois - TLDs, Whois Servers and their Registries
