Description Robert Scheck 2009-02-22 04:41:38 UTC
Description of problem:
Please add a whois server for .vc, currently /etc/jwhois.conf doesn't mention 
any for this TLD. According to http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/vc.html
from IANA there is one, "whois2.afilias-grs.net", 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.vc
[Querying whois.internic.net]
[whois.internic.net]
[...]
#

Expected results:
Add the following line in /etc/jwhois.conf after "\\.va$" to get it working: 

  "\\.vc$" = "whois2.afilias-grs.net";

Afterwards a whois for .vc looks much better:

# whois nic.vc
[Querying whois2.afilias-grs.net]
[whois2.afilias-grs.net]
[...]
#

Additional info:
Please try to get this fix upstream - upstream is unluckily always very very
unresponsive to me.
