Package: whois Version: 4.7.0 Severity: normal Currently, whois defaults to querying whois.nic.ad.jp for .jp domains, which is no longer the correct server. It should be updated to whois.jprs.jp, according to both IANA and whois.nic.ad.jp. Currently, this happens: $ whois ocn.ne.jp <JPNIC WHOIS HELP> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: JPNIC WHOIS server does not provide query service for domain name related information. Please access following whois services for .JP domain name related queries.
JPRS WHOIS http://whois.jprs.jp/ (whois.jprs.jp) whois.jp http://whois.jp/ (whois.jp) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (NB: This is using the default of whois.nic.ad.jp, remainder of JPNIC whois help snipped) Querying the jprs server gives (presumably) correct output: $ whois -h whois.jprs.jp ocn.ne.jp/e [ JPRS database provides information on network administration.
