Custom Output Modification and Formatting Options:
Do lookups and
provide IP information for dns servers (only .com/.net/.org/.info domains currently)
Do
lookup first in internic registry and if not available, provide dns lookup ip
Always
do dns lookup to find nameserver and provide that information
Do
whois lookup only and do not provide any info if record not found there
Do
both internic whois and dns lookup and specify where both are the same
Do internic whois
for .com/.net and and dns lookup for country and all other
top-level domains
Provide more information on what specific whois servers were used to get the results
Display
original whois informational message (usually aup or similar) for
all whois servers
When complex query
results in the exactly same subqueries, display results for all
subqueries
For very
complex queries limit level of sublookups
(domain->ip->domain->...) to
When output indicates domain is available, report this in
completewhois standard format
Also
provide original output from whois server
Also
check if domain is available using SRS domain registration
interface
Use
cached results when available (otherwise query would be forced)
Cache
results from this query for future use (default is to cache for one
day)
Do complete
formatting of results of whois to get output into unified format:
Use
this format:
Use
custom format from template:
Custom Domain Lookup Options:
Provide IP lookup
results about www.domain.com (if does not exist just domain.com is tried)
If multiple dns records
exist for domain.com, use only
1st one all
records max
records
Enable support for IPv6 and if AAA or A6 record exist for
www.domain.com or domain.com, look it up
Provide IP lookup results
about all listed nameservers for the domain
Get
nameserver name from whois data whenever possible OR
Always
get correct nameserver names from DNS (results of dig trace are
used)
Resolve
nameserver ips throughInternic
whois DNS
both
(two set of results if different)
For
top level domains other then .com, .net always use dns to get
nameserver name and ip
Provide HOST lookup results for all nameservers (rarely usefull, see
above on nameserver names)
Do lookup into
whois.abuse.net for this domain (WARNING: abuse.net often entered
abuse email data without verifying if the address is correct - their
info can not be relied upon)
Provide dns record
result for the domain:
For domains where no whois server exists or when whois is known not
to be up to date
Only for top-level domains where no whois server exists at all
Include
dns data for all domains (equivalent to old DNSINFO or DIG command)
Type of DNS lookup: DNSINFO
(based on nslookup) DIG
Combined
DNSINFO+DIG
Provide IANA (ICANN)
information about top-level domain (useful for country information)
Only for domains where no whois server is known to exist for this country
domain
Force lookup into IANA server for any domain
Get IANA information from ICANN whois server (if not checked icann website
is used)
Enable multiple (non-ICANN)
namespaces support
Provide namespace
whois information for the chosen top-level domain, including root dns servers
When top level domain
is served by multiple registries depending on name space, look in
ICANN
namespace only
All
namespaces
Only
in
namespace
When
checking dns on domain in non-icann namespace use dns servers for
that namespace
Enable
support for Internationalized Domain Names (for registrars that
support it)
Also
provide output conversion of domain name to all 3 main formats above
Custom IP Lookup Options
Provide dns record
results for this ip (see above to choose type of dns output)
Get reverse dns name
for this ip address and then provide whois data on domain specified
there
Provide whois output from
raddb server. Use server:
Provide abuse contact
whois information from cyberabuse.org
Provide
domain and ip lookup results
about all listed reverse dns nameservers
Provide
HOST lookup results for all nameservers (this is even more useless
then with domains)
Lookup in BGP Routing
table and provide ASN record for ISP announcing this ip
Provide
domain whois data for domain listed in email address of the contacts
for this ip block:
First email
listed in most detailed record of RIR whois For
all contacts (bad - very long query)
Enable experimental
support for IPv6
Including lookup on ipv6 reverse dns
Do Lookups In Regional
Registries (note: this option also has the same effect on ASN
lookups):
Auto (do lookup in
proper ip regional registry based on pre-defined data from IANA table)
Use ARIN registry to
choose proper regional registry for futher lookup
Do Lookup in all IP
Regional Registries (please don't use this unless you have a good reason)
Do Lookup specifically
at:
ARIN
(North & South America, South Africa)
APNIC
(most of Asia, Australia & Oceania)
RIPE
(Europe, North Africa, Middle-East Asia)

NIPRNET
(US Military IP blocks)
ARIN Lookup Options
Do additional lookups
for exact record when ARIN reports multiple records for ip
Do lookups
and provided details for
all levels of nested (swipped) records
Do not do lookups
into nested records, only provide top-level (parent block) record
Do lookup
and provide details for most specific swiped record only
Do sublookups
into other regional registrars for swipped blocks (keep
this on always for now)
Do sublookups
into some known ISP whois servers and country registrars (japan nic, nac.net,
etc)
Do sublookups
into ISP RWHOIS servers where one is available
Except when more specific swip record already exists,
then display
rwhois swip
or
both
Do
specific lookup and provide details about ORG (organization) record
(this would be provided as separate whois record by itself unless
options below are chosen)
Use
results to update main netlblock org whois data output (add last
update, comments, etc)
Use
ORG data to add Admin contact to list of contacts displayed for ip
block
Do
specific lookup and provide details about each contact record
(organization) record
Integrate
these results as part of netblock whois data output or
Provided
contact details whois separate by itself for each contact
RIPE and
APNIC Lookup
Options
Do more complex search
and check if multiple levels of records exist, in particular
Provide

option "-l" )
Provide
results for first level less specific inetnum or inet6num object with the
"mnt-irt:" attribute.

Provide dns record
results about this nameserver (see above to choose dns output
format)
Provide
detailed whois information about nameserver based on whois records
at:
crsnic.net
only (root whois server for .com/.net zones as maintained by NSI)
crsnic.net

nameservers)
Provide more specific
host lookup into registrar listed by crsnic as responsible for
