Dear Marwan El-Sherif, Whois server can keep data about IPv6 networks, you can have a look at the database reference manual for this, but I think that's part of what you're asking for. Whois server itself isn't IPv6 compliant, that is, it can't currently answer queries from ipv6 hosts. However, we implemented a a proxy that acts as a bridge between ipv6 hosts and and ipv4 whois server, which you can find at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/v6wpd-latest.tar.gz There is also some documentation on how to setup and use it in the package.

Dear All,

I would highly appreciate your help in finding documents that clearly state that the RIPE WHOIS server is IPV6 compliant. We are currently using RIPE WHOIS ver. 3.0.2

Thanks,
