It is not an easy task to keep track of the options understood by each
of the possible queriable servers. Most of the whois servers of the
Internet Registries are at least aware of those options. Ultimately
this is something to be left to the user to decide, I think.

Anyway our server runs the RIPE code and understands those options.
Also radb.ra.net understands the options.

Thanks a lot.
