whois servers spinning today
The whois servers whois.ripe.net and whois.arin.net seem to have problems today as they either don't respond, or when they respond then with empty results: ######################################## # whois -h whois.ripe.net google.de % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf %ERROR:101: no entries found % % No entries found in source RIPE. % This query was served by the RIPE Database Query Service version 1.35 (WHOIS4) ######################################## # whois -h whois.arin.net sprint.net # # Query terms are ambiguous.

Dear Colleague, The RIPE Database does not hold any forward domain data. So it is correct when it returns "no entries found" for this query. We are not experiencing any problems today with response times on accessing the RIPE Database. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group On 19/10/2012 13:15, U.Mutlu wrote:

The whois servers whois.ripe.net and whois.arin.net seem to have problems today as they either don't respond, or when they respond then with empty results:
# whois -h whois.ripe.net google.de
%ERROR:101: no entries found
.de domains are handled by DENIC: whois -h whois.denic.de google.de
# whois -h whois.arin.net sprint.net
No match found for sprint.net.
InterNIC says that the registrar for sprint.net is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. Ergo: whois -h whois.corporatedomains.com sprint.net -- Thor Kottelin http://www.anta.net/
There definitely was an error with the whois servers, observed on many of our servers at different hosters. Now the previously not-working query is suddenly working on all our servers:
# whois sprint.net getaddrinfo(whois.crsnic.net): Name or service not known
# whois sprint.net Whois Server Version 2.0 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.
