asked on

whois changed info from whois.internic.net

I have some code which looks up whois record for .com and extracted Regsitrar info from result from whois.internic.net query and then could do a whois lookup from the registry for full record

BUT they response coming back from whois.internic.net  no longer has Registrar information

I have searched and only found a reference to "shared database registry" but cannot find which server to use to get me the registrar details so I can do a detailed look up - any help?

                TcpClient objTCPC = new TcpClient();
                objTCPC.Connect("whois.internic.net", 43);
                string strDomain = cDomain + "\r\n";
                byte[] arrDomain = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strDomain);

                objStream.Write(arrDomain, 0, strDomain.Length);

Solution - changed first server lookup to:

whois.crsnic.net

but there was a problem with an individual domain (lawyer.com)  that still didnt give enough information to find Registrar but some other whois sites also could not get the correct information

but some did - I would still love to know how they got the registrar information even though it was not on whois record?
