No whois server is known for this kind of object

13th August 2015

I make extensive use of whois in my work and since they introduced all these fancy TLDs in recent years I've noticed the standard linux whois client is failing for many of them.
Ever tried to whois e.g. whois.fail and got this instead?

No whois server is known for this kind of object

Well, apparently it's as simple as adding the new servers to the whois client config file. Here's how my /etc/whois.conf looks like.
Feel free to copy/paste.

Credits go to thde.io.

Cheerio!
