-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was thinking about that problem as well (due to some work I am doing together with Arnd who made the original post). |>>would it be possible to enhance the RDB query in a way that |>>multiple inverse queries are possible?!

Yes, but only for the same kind of attributes, right? Means I cannot search for admin-c and mnt-by in the same -i query like I would do with whois -i tech-c,mnt-by toc76-ripe,CW-EUROPE-GSOC but of course whois -i admin-c,tech-c toc76-ripe works. | Supplying a list of arguments actually results in a logical .OR. operation. | But at 1st reading, my interpretation of the request was a .AND. operation. So the question if it is a OR or a AND operation is a second point beneath that and would apply to searching only i.e. "pn" attributes and serching multiple different attributes.
