Perhaps your whois clients eats the «-r» parameter.
Try «whois -h whois.ripe.net -- -r 147.28.0.0/16 instead»?
Uh, wait. The output you posted seems correct to me? You asked for 147.28.0.0/16 and got the expected exact match results, an inetnum and a route. No org/person/grandmothers were returned - so what was the problem, exactly? Tore
