This maybe an ARIN only thing not sure. $ whois "+ 68.68.90.0" You can lookup ARINs help by doing with the -a telling whois to query ARINs server. $ whois -a "?" A final option is passing the NET to ARIN so it knows what object to bring up. I found this by looking at the query where you got back two possibilities. $ whois -a NET-68-68-90-0-1 There probably is a simpler way to get back one specific cidr record but I couldn=B9t get it to work. =8BNick Wolff
