[registrars] [Fwd: [registrar] Redirection of InterNIC.net port 43 Whois]

[Amadeu Abril i Abril <Amadeu@nominalia.com>]

FYI, forwarded form the ICANN accredited registrr list. As this list
and all other dnso.org lists seem to have faced some problems during
the last hours, I am reposting this, just in case.

Registrars:

     Under the ICANN-DOC-NSI agreements approved in Los Angeles,
beginning December 1, 1999, port 43 Whois queries to rs.internic.net will
return NSI-registry data, rather than the NSI-registrar data that is
currently returned.
Those of you with systems relying on port 43 Whois queries to
rs.internic.net
may wish to make adjustments to your systems.  The NSI announcement
follows:

> Redirecting Port 43 Whois
>
> The following change is being made to comply with the recently
> negotiated and signed agreements between the U.S. Department of
> Commerce, ICANN, and NSI.
>
> Effective December 1, 1999 Network Solutions will be redirecting
> port 43 (rs.internic.net) Whois from the NSI Registrar Whois to
> the NSI Registry Whois.   The NSI Registry Whois can currently be
> found at whois.nsiregistry.net.  After this occurs, port 43 Whois
> will show the following information: domain name, registrar, Whois
> server, registrar referral URL and the names of the name servers
> associated with the domain.  To obtain registrant and domain name
> contact information, users will need to refer to the Whois service
> provided by the registrar for the domain name.
>
> Send questions or comments to whois@nsiregistry.net.
