[Bug 339913] Re: WHOIS does not use WHOIS servers from authoritative IANA list

[Vincent Pluk]

I'm not sure if this is the same problem in karmic/9.10. I ran into it looking for some IP/Network WHOIS data:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
vincent at laptop:~$ jwhois 91.189.89.223
[Querying whois.ripe.net]
[Unable to connect to remote host]

ii  jwhois                            4.0-1                             Improved Caching Whois client
ii  linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic     2.6.31-14.48                      Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64
ii  linux-image-generic               2.6.31.14.27                      Generic Linux kernel image
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

The example nigel mentions still doesn't work:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
vincent at laptop:~$ jwhois nic.gg
[Querying whois.isles.net]
[whois.isles.net: Name or service not known]
[Unable to connect to remote host]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
