I've set up <domain>.ws.sp.am (that's ws for Whois Server) which is updated every day from a variety of sources so it's pretty accurate. It's had the right server for pro.ws.sp.am all along.Hey, that's fantastic! Feature request: could you provide a human- and machine-readable one-stop extract at the top-level page (ws.sp.am) ?I can make a web page, but not sure what you mean by one-stop extract. If you mean a proxy that will do the whois lookups, no, because it'd get abused and I'd get rate limited.
Definitely not a proxy request - I know exactly what that would mean. The goal would be to provide a unified list of the servers for each TLD, to help people who cannot change their whois client for administrative/political/inertia reasons, but have control over their whois.conf, a la: https://superuser.com/questions/758647/how-to-whois-new-tlds So in an ideal world: - a top-level landing page that would explain briefly what it's for, and - a link from that top-level page to the whole list, in regex-aware, whois.conf-compatible format Royce
