One of our engineers here points out that maybe you are talking about the 
other sources that we mirror in the Database.  You can query all sources 
that we mirror via the "-a" flag on a query:

$ whois -a 204/8

You can also query only ARIN, by the "-s" flag:

$ whois -s arin 204/8

Finally, you can see all the sources we mirror by using "-q sources":

$ whois -q sources
