Indeed. FOr some time now the RIRs have backed the joint whois project, which is operated by LACNIC. http://lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois?lg=EN or whois -h whois.lacnic.net There is no format translation, you get the native thing from each of the registries (with a note for the source of the info at the beginning) Why would you use any other whois server for IP/ASNs/RPSL?
