Description of problem: Please add a whois server for .jobs, currently /etc/jwhois.conf doesn't mention any for this TLD. According to http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/jobs.html from IANA there is one, "jobswhois.verisign-grs.com", so let's use it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jwhois-4.0-10 How reproducible: Everytime, whois query fails. Actual results: # whois nic.jobs [Querying whois.internic.net] [whois.internic.net] [...] # Expected results: Add the following line in /etc/jwhois.conf after "\\.je$" to get it working: "\\.jobs$" = "jobswhois.verisign-grs.com"; Afterwards a whois for .jobs looks much better (note that redirects at .jobs are allowed for whois, so everything fine here): # whois nic.jobs [Querying jobswhois.verisign-grs.com] [Redirected to whois.encirca.com] [Querying whois.encirca.com] [whois.encirca.com] [...] # Additional info: Please try to get this fix upstream - upstream is unluckily always very very unresponsive to me.
Correction, *.verisign-grs.com is a bit strange, use the following block in order to get low-level redirects working correct: --- snipp --- "\\.jobs$" { whois-server = "jobswhois.verisign-grs.com"; query-format = "domain $*"; } --- snapp ---
