Since the -STABLE and -CURRENT sources for whois are presently
in sync, this ought to be OK on -CURRENT, too. (And I just
tested same on:
freebeast(5.0-C)[22] uname -a
FreeBSD freebeast.catwhisker.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #33: Thu Oct 24 07:17:02 PDT 2002 root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/FREEBEAST i386
freebeast(5.0-C)[23]
. Yes, it worked as described.)
>Description:
Just as one actually queries whois.ripe.net to determine
delegation of European netblocks, there is now a Latin American
WHOIS server, whois.lacnic.net.
The supplied patch adds support to query whois.lacnic.net, both
automagically, and via (explicit) -l flag.
>How-To-Repeat:
whois 200.34.123.2 # as a quasi-random IP address that I
# figured would be under LACNIC's ovesight.
Note that what you see is a referral to LACNIC.
Then apply the below patches; re-make whois, and try again.
This time, you see that the 200.34.112/20 CIDR block has
been reassigned to CITI, of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
I took a stab at updating the man page, too.
