Using HE's tunnel broker and getting a strange anomaly with my whois client. It times out when querying for .com and .net domain info unless I force it to use the IPv4 address for whois.crsnic.net. The .uk IPv6 enabled whois server works fine with IPv6.
Anyone else seeing this?
Hah, I noticed that too, but I hadn't traced it back to an ipv6 issue yet (I just hadn't had time to look at it).
whois google.com
[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com]
and it just sits there.
Same if I try whois google.com@whois.internic.net
A little digging show both point to the same AAAA: 2001:503:bfb0:1060::74
I can ping that IP.
I'll dig more into it later.
Adding:
\.com$ 199.7.57.74
\.net$ 199.7.57.74
to the /etc/whois.conf file is a workaround.
