Hi Scott:

I believe I found a bad link in your IPWHOIS lookup.

I had to update my SWIP entry and your site had cached the old answer.  When
trying to use the "get fresh results" link - I suddenly ended up on a screen
that convinced me that my Backbone Provider had deleted my entry entirely.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=65.119.204.0
lists the correct swip entry.

Following the link to:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=!NET-65-119-204-0-1&server=whois.a
rin.net
I had been showing the old/incorrect information (by now it does show the
correct info, because I found out the RIGHT way how to refresh your cache -
read on)

All the while, I had been following the link to "cache off" - which
constructs THIS URL:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?domain=!NET-65-119-204-0-1&cache=off

The resulting display of
NetRange:   0.0.0.0 - 0.255.255.255
CIDR:       0.0.0.0/8
NetName:    RESERVED-1
NetHandle:  NET-0-0-0-0-1
caused me to think that MY entry !NET-65-119-204-0-1 was bad/deleted. I
never even bothered verifying your display with ARIN (shame on me).


Notice how your Query Parameters switched
    from:
ip=!NET-65-119-204-0-1&server=whois.arin.net
    to:
domain=!NET-65-119-204-0-1&cache=off

Clearly, the switch from "ip=!NET..." to "domain=!NET..." is the problem.

If instead, I manually constructed the URL:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=!NET-65-119-204-0-1&server=whois.a
rin.net&cache=off
I started seeing the CORRECT information (and it refreshed your cache).

So - I believe in the "ip=!NET..." detail screen your CACHE OFF link is
constructed incorrectly.
