ripe whois -s dbname question

 * Hi,

 * All search line includes all but TESTRR.
 * CANUPD includes all but RIPE.

 * I can add things to TESTRR, but how can I get ripe's whois perl script
 * to search in that db?   I tried, eg,
 *   /u2/rrdb/dbase-beta/bin/whois -s TESTRR 35.0.0.0
 * but I just get what is in the MERITRR db instead of whats in TESTRR
 * (or I get nothing if its not in MERITRR or others but only in TESTRR).
 * 
 * Is there a way to do whois queries to see what is in a specific
 * db, and in particular in a db that is not in the All-search chain?

Actually this should work. I tried the same from here (I assume you
have your server running on mole.merit.edu aka rrdb.merit.edu) and my
feeling is that this is a configuration error. Could you send me your
config so I can have a look? It should never return information from
another source than specified with the -s flag ...
