IP Whois-servers
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2003 12:22 pm
Hello there!
I'm writing my own script to request whois-info for IP-numbers. I know that certain IP-numbers are served by arin, by ripe, by iana, etcetera and I try to implement this in my script: the script has to choose the correct whois-server based on the IP-number entered.
My problem is: my list of these servers is getting longer and longer. Is there someplace where I can find a complete list of which servers list which IP-numbers? Until now I found one, but that's either too old or incomplete.
And I don't want to find them by trial-and-error!
any ideas are welcome!
btw I don't want to use it for spamming, if someone might think that. It's just a service for visitors of my site. And for me to learn programming more....
