Ping?
Hi, I investigated it, but can't find out where the problem is - jwhois.conf is up to date, right address is taken... Another point - you closed #230001 as working in 4.0-1 - does it still work for you? 4.0-2 is same as 4.0-1 (only fixed license and maybe cache not disabled by default, IIRC), so if it all worked in 4.0-1 I wonder why it doesn't work now:(
Wrong address is taken. IANA is queried instead of RIPE. So the lookup within the configuration file seems to fail somewhere...
Bug #230001 works further on as expected.
This matches 2001:0620::5 and it obviously shouldn't: "2001:0000::/23" = "whois.iana.org";
Created attachment 277131 [details] Proposed fix I think I found that. Robert: you seem to use whois extensively -- could you please look if it doesn't break something for you (if we don't rely on the wrong matching somewhere, etc.)
Lubomir, you're good - the fix works. I'll test the patch the next few days during regular work. And yes, I'm using whois much times a day, but this is normal when working for a company which is also an ISP ;-)
