Hi all,
This is probably somewhat of an un-legit way of using whois but I'm
curious as to whether it would be possible to install an internal
whois server that responds with the appropriate prefix-data upon
request for internal ip-numbers/domains while forwarding unknown
requests to external whois servers.
Has anyone done a similar implementation or know what kind of software
that could be used to obtain this?
Since you're talking about referrals, you might want to look at rwhois
rather than classic whois (see http://projects.arin.net/rwhois/). I
don't have firsthand experience with rwhois, but it looks closer to what
you're seeking.
If your clients aren't capable of talking rwhois, then there might be
some sort of whois<->rwhois gateway, or perhaps one could be developed.
In any case, this isn't really related to BIND or DNS, as pointed out
previously. The idea of encoding network administration data into DNS
pretty much died with RFC 1101.
