running whois on African IP address returns ARIN record
I ran a whois query that appeared in a scam email: whois 41.203.233.134 This returns a record that says it's in Ebene Cyber City, Mauritius. Adding -h whois.afrinic.net reveals that it's actually in Burkina Faso. Is this an old version of whois? The date of the file is August 21 this year, but the last update of the ARIN record was in 2010. Pierre -- Jews use a lunisolar calendar; Muslims use a solely lunar calendar.

Pierre Unlike Marco d'Itri's whois implementation that you will find in most linux distro, DragonFlyBSD's whois does not embed a list of prefixes distribution. So it will ask arin.net for every request on an ip. You may find several whois implementations on pkgsrc. As far as I know there is no BSD implementation of an elaborate whois as Marcos's one.

I'm not sure this is guaranteed to work in all VMs, even (as you wrote) it did work in qemu. I'd recommend rater taking a (non-GUI, though) snapshot ISO from http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/snapshots and install Xorg with pkg_radd(1). Sascha
