Description Robert Scheck 2009-02-22 12:37:48 UTC
Description of problem:
6BONE handles should be easily readable via whois. Of course, 6BONES got phased
out some time ago, but they still have lots and lots of handles, which are e.g.
in use by Sixxs and others, thus looking to them should be easily possible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
jwhois-4.0-10

How reproducible:
Everytime

Actual and expected results:
And add following at the end of handles {}

--- snipp ---
       ".*-6BONE$" = "whois.6bone.net";
--- snapp ---

And add the following in whois-servers { } after ".*-[A-Z]+$" = "struct 
handles";

--- snipp ---
        ".*-6BONE$" = "struct handles";
--- snapp ---

I don't know whether it is clever to extend [A-Z] to [A-Z-0-9] or similar,
thus I simply added a new matching. Maybe that has to be clarified with
upstream as well.

Afterwards perform a "whois SOMETHING-6BONE" or "whois RS-6BONE" which should 
redirect to the 6BONE whois servers and show something...

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