Correct inclusion of rwhois info in WHOIS server output?

Marco d'Itri's whois client does quite a lot of what you want,
including automatically following an rwhois referral when it finds one

Of course not much can be done when the rwhois server to which you're
redirected just doesn't respond

suresh at etherkiller 11:33:29 <~> $ telnet  rwhois.level3.net 4321
Trying 209.244.1.179...
