Once upon a time, the UNIX/cygwin âwhoisâ program would follow referrals. So, you could ask, for nearly any domain, âwhois name.domainâ and whois would first find out which whois server could answer the question, and then would query that whois server and get the answer.
Lately (months? more?), it doesnât do this anymore â¹
Example below.
Thereâs even an option (still) in whois to NOT follow referrals ("-r turn off recursive look-ups for contact information").
Now, we need to manually run a second whois, using the -h HOST option, supplying it the output of the initial whois command's "Registrar WHOIS Server" field.
Is this Just The way It Is now? Or is there an option I'm missing - or a replacement whois program - which still does the recursion automatically?
(I'm on Windows 10 64-bit, "Creators" update, with Cygwin installer 2.881 64-bit, whois package version 5.2.10-1).
thanks,
Jay

That was the problem - it used to be just "Whois Server".
