I've been getting numerous results when querying whois.opensrs.net
that say "Unable to contact crsnic" and do not return a record.
This is for domains that should be LOCAL lookups for opensrs' whois.
It is really time that this broken whois system be fixed.
Here is my proposed solution:
1) OpenSRS' whois should return results only for data local to the
OpenSRS registration database
2) At a minimum, if #1 is ruled out, the whois server should stop
querying the internic whois first, and instead search the local
database first, and only do a forwarded query if the local search
returns no results.
This is really becoming an issue when customers do lookups on their
domains and get only "Unable to contact crsnic" as the results over
and over again.
