# whois -6 2a01:d0::1
whois: connect(): Connection refused

In man whois written:
      -6      Use the IPv6 Resource Center (6bone) database.  It 
contains net-
              work names and addresses for the IPv6 network.


There are ideas on how to define membership of a particular block of ipv6?
