I just wanted to sum this up. The bottom line is that the current
method of doing things is causing no results at all to come up many
times for users who query whois.opensrs.net to get the whois
information for their own domain names.
This is how it came back into the forefront of my own list of things
that need to get resolved. Customers complaining about getting only
"Unable to contact crsnic" when trying to see the whois on their own
data. And I tested it myself last evening and got this result many
many times.
No other prominent registrar is running their whois this way, so I
don't buy the "we have to do it this way" argument. All other
registrars who do recursive lookups do it only if they get no local
matches.
