As an unbiased user, I agree :^). Like I mentioned before, we (the
InterNIC) plan on using this in the very near future. We would encourage
any of you providers to join in on this pilot project that is underway.
We think it has a lot of promise as solution to our current operational
problems. Bill has seen the light.
Once you get the server built (source on rs.internic.net:/pub/rwhois) and
populated with data, send a the below template to me (markk at internic.net)
and I'll attach you to the root server.
Object-Type: referral
Referral:
Domain-Name:
IP-Network:
Explanation:
Referral: is the DNS hostname of your server along with the port
in the format hostname:port.
Domain-Name: Part of the DNS tree that you are SOA for.
IP-Network: dotted quad address prefix / length
Example (RIPE's stub whois server):
Object-Type: referral
Referral: whois.ripe.net:43
Domain-Name: ripe.net
IP-Network: 193.0.0.0/8
IP-Network: 194.0.0.0/8
If you have any questions about rwhois, please send me mail or
join the majordomo-administered list (rwhois at internic.net) and ask
there.
Thanks,
Mark
