Dear Piet! Direct 'whois' access to that information is and stays useful, because not *everything* is in DNS; it can't even be without overloading [cache/memory] of nameservers and hosts all over the Internet. The current RIPE 'whois' access however is well-established, which is why I've suggested to drop all Domain objects except for a special one ("*td") for the top level domains, which would then contain an attribute ("*ws") pointing to the whois server for that top level domain. RIPE's whois server can than act as a "forwarder" for requests for Unfortunately I didn't find the spare cycles to dive into the rwhois project info, but I think there could be some hidden synergy. Do you have any ideas on this aspect? Thanks, Wilfried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber at CC.UniVie.ac.at Computer Center - ACOnet : Vienna University : Tel: +43 1 4065822 355 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4065822 170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : NIC: WW144 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
