Zitat von Maria Iano bind-li...@iano.org: We are working with a software vendor whose software only works with relative hostnames - they say it can't cope with a fully-qualified domain name. They want us to make sure the necessary domain is in all clients' search lists. Does anyone have

Hi Yes, I do use whois, my problem is which of the many dozens of whois servers to ask. E.g. if you want to know who owns telephone.com(random example), do you ask whois.moniker.com, whois.markmonitor.com, whois.enum.com or ???. If you don't know who to ask, it can take maybe 20 attempts before

Ian was propably talking about jwhois which is part of almost all Linux distibutions. This whois client automagically selects the correct whois server for you. It comes with a configuration file with lots of known tld = whois server pairs. For .com/.net domains it selects the whois server by first

Additionally a wildcard record in one of the the searched domains would cause a false positive to be returned causing an outage to the service/services. And if your not in control of the zone or the search order it could be difficult to rectify. -Stacey On 11/11/2010 00:30, Kevin Darcy

Rules against links or certain links?

I've noticed a couple of times on this list that if I post links for certain on line sites with free tools like whois that they never seem to make it to the list. Is there some prohibition against posting those links that would cause them to be filtered out? I know at least one of them also

From a nameserver implementation and maintenance perspective, it's even simpler for the data to already be present in the first view that matches. Why complicate things more than that? Because there is a need for it especially in large installations with a large number of zones. Different
