Github jonasob jwhois pull 33 0 None open Add whois.ja.net for gov.wales, llyw.cymru, and gov.scot 2021-10-27 22:09:50 UTC

Description Alex Dutton 2021-10-27 22:09:51 UTC
Description of problem:

jwhois.conf doesn't contain whois server names for gov.scot, gov.wales and llyw.cymru. These are all UK devolved government DNS zones managed by Jisc's JANET service, with a whois server at whois.ja.net.


How reproducible / actual results:

```
[alex@misha ~]$ whois www.gov.scot
[Querying whois.scot.coreregistry.net]
[Unable to connect to remote host]
```

Expected results:

```
[alex@misha ~]$ whois -h whois.ja.net www.gov.scot
[Querying whois.ja.net]
[whois.ja.net]

Domain:
	www.gov.scot

Registered For:
	The Scottish Government
```


Additional info:

I've made a PR for this upstream at https://github.com/jonasob/jwhois/pull/33, which contains both the lines to add to jwhois.conf, and more detail on verifying that whois.ja.net is the authoritative whois server for these zones.

Hello Alex,

Thank you, it looks good.

It would be maybe worth of opening PR for this also at https://github.com/robert-scheck/jwhois,
Robert has more recent configuration file there.
