Could you give an example of a domain you've tried and the information
you expected to get back in one go but didn't?
Sure... I'll use one of my domains: dngnbbs.com. Here's what I get:
[john@slave1 ~]$ whois dngnbbs.com
[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com]
[whois.verisign-grs.com]
Whois Server Version 2.0
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
Domain Name: DNGNBBS.COM
Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
...
Under the *old* system (FC3) it would automatically re-direct to
whois.godaddy.com and provide the info. Instead, it now requires me to
*manually* query the registrar. I realize that the current way of things was
how it used to work, back in the "old-old days" (i.e. back when it was still
RedHat...maybe even before RH9) but I kinda got spoiled by not having to
manually query the registrar.
This looks like a regression. Add the following clause to the
server-options section of /etc/jwhois.conf:
"whois\\.verisign-grs\\.com" {
whois-redirect = ".*Whois Server: \\(.*\\)";
}
That'll fix it.
Paul.
