Hi All There are many different options and some work (or not) on different systems. One that does seem to work, at least on both linux and OSX is this: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "-B dw-ripe" Hope this helps. regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group On 05/03/2013 11:13, Ruediger Volk wrote:
Hi Suresh,
I tried the two. My whois client is rather elderly but is pretty bog standard, being the one bundled with a stable Linux distro
if you are using an whois client that is not clearly tuned to take care of the specific RIPE DB options you are better off to enclose the query with all it's options in a single quoted comand line parameter such as
whois -h whois.ripe.net "-i mnt-by MNT-ANONYMOUS"
