Hi Yes, I do use whois, my problem is which of the many dozens of whois servers to ask.
E.g. if you want to know who owns telephone.com(random example), do you ask whois.moniker.com, whois.markmonitor.com, whois.enum.com or ???. If you don't know who to ask, it can take maybe 20 attempts before you find a whois server tha gives some helpful info. In some cases looking at the NS records helps Somebody put up the whois.uwhois.net, but that rarely gives an answer. How do you determine where to ask?
