There isn't really a 'standard' whois implementation. Some clients (by default) connect to less optimal whois servers than they ought to do. This (generally) is an issue to up with the manufacturer of your operating system or whois client vendor. There is one interesting whois server, that generally is very helpful to refer to the right place, and that is 'whois.lacnic.net'. Try the following on your system: $ whois -h whois.lacnic.net 103.60.14.185 If you share with me (offlist) what operating system & whois client you use, perhaps we can investigate whether improvements are possible. The final answer is that WHOIS should fully be replaced with RDAP. https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG72/1601/20180220_Griswold_Death_To_Whois_v1.pdf or video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_7RZFb6oJ0 Kind regards, Job _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
