>Release: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Botbay.net
>Environment:
CLI Whois client, whois an Australian domain or IP block.
>Description:
FreeBSD's whois client has an option -p that queries whois.apnic.net.
Information about Australian hosts were once authoritative in apnic, however
they no longer are. whois.aunic.net is the current authoritative server.
The included patch will enable the -u option to query the AUNIC database.
