Easier than that, I've got the following working in csh/tcsh:
alias rawhois 'whois -h whois.ra.net \!:*'
alias awhois 'whois -h whois.arin.net \!:*'
alias riwhois 'whois -h whois.ripe.net \!:*'
alias cawhois 'whois -h whois.cdnnet.ca \!:*'
alias nwhois 'whois -h whois.networksolutions.com \!:*'
This is made obsolete by the new "smarter" whois, as is the
following shell script you might find handy under 2.2.8:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then whois
elif echo "$1" | grep -q "[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]" ; then
trap "rm -f /tmp/wh.$$ ; exit" 0 1 2 3 6 15
whois -h whois.arin.net $1 > /tmp/wh.$$
if grep -q "Netname: RIPE" /tmp/wh.$$ ; then whois -h whois.ripe.net $1
elif grep -q "Netname: APNIC" /tmp/wh.$$ ; then whois -h whois.apnic.net $1
else cat /tmp/wh.$$
fi
elif echo "$1" | grep -q "\.ca\$" ; then whois -h whois.cdnnet.ca $1
elif echo "$1" | grep -q "\.uk\$" ; then whois -h whois.nic.uk $1
elif echo "$1" | grep -q "\.au\$" ; then whois -h whois.aunic.net $1
else whois -h whois.networksolutions.com $1
fi
Expand as necessary. I only included what I use regularly.
