As a side note, verifying the identity of "whois.internet.com" and then
using "whois.internic.net" is perhaps not optimal.

You get every entry in the DB with that substring in it, which will
include Nameserver entries, used for the DNS glue from the parent zone.

For the Verisign servers, you can prefix the query with the "domain"
string.

% whois "domain google.com"
[... correct results ... ]
