IIRC you can ALWAYS get same info from using dig command right?
So whois is obsolete like rsh and ftp? :)

Whois is basically a contact data base, its not obsolete, but it was
never authoritative for DNS. This is why GSA can essentially refuse to
answer whois queries that don't come from their own servers. The TLD SOA
for com org net, etc hands down the owner of foo.com, and then foo.com
SOA can hand down the owner of my.foo.com, and so on until you reach the
SOA where the host resides.
