lo Seamus and fellow QA Team members ;-)
I've just created a patch for giving net_whois the ability to retrieve
authorative information on a domain, in the scenario where
humorous subdomains have been entered elsewhere.
for example if you do a barebones look up of facebook.com or
answers.com you will see various "server name" entries that obviously
aren't registered by either Facebook, Inc or the Answers Corporation.
My patch takes care of this issue by performing 2 additional lookups
and allows the user to specifiy whether or not this should occur.
As maintainer I'd implement the [other] outstanding feature request
and takeover addressing any issue that might arise with the package.
Seamus - have you any objection to this? I know net_whois is marked as
orphaned, but you are not marked as inactive either and I'd rather not
presume that you no longer have any interest in the package.
regards
Ken
