Redirecting Port 43 Whois
The following change is being made to comply with the recently negotiated
and signed agreements between the U.S. Department of Commerce, ICANN, and
NSI.
Effective December 1, 1999 Network Solutions will be redirecting port 43
(rs.internic.net) Whois from the NSI Registrar Whois to the NSI Registry
Whois. The NSI Registry Whois can currently be found at
whois.nsiregistry.net. After this occurs, port 43 Whois will show the
following information: domain name, registrar, Whois server, registrar
referral URL and the names of the name servers associated with the domain.
To obtain registrant and domain name contact information, users will need to
refer to the Whois service provided by the registrar for the domain name.
