Package: whois Version: 5.0.10 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 Hi,
This is similar to bug #408096. So my IPv6 setup is slightly broken it seems... but that is another story. But it stops some connections staying open. If a do a whois lookup of google.com it goes to whois.crsnic.net over IPv6, gets a bit, then disconnects. Sample transcripts are below. Now it is a bit weird that if half goes through, as it works fine on firewall... just not in the internal network. IPv6 seems to work for everything else... (indeed, a whois of google.co.uk which goes to whois.nic.uk/2a01:618:8009:0:92d:f97:4c90:2b79 works fine...) I don't rely on whois that much, just found it odd so thought I would file a bug.
