   This posting from Germany brings up an interesting question:

   Has anyone else created whois databases?
   What machines?
   Any on unix platforms?

#!/bin/sh
whois -h iramu1.ira.uka.de $*		# german dnet
whois -h garcon.cso.uiuc.edu $*		# illinois, ph/qi nameserver
whois -h nic.ddn.mil $*			# ddn nic, tops-20
whois -h sh.cs.net $*			# csnet, csnet nameserver

I'm sure there are more..
