Below is a more detailed analysis which I sent to OpenSRS support over a
month ago. They said the developers were aware of the problem. I just
can't believe that it hasn't been fixed yet. This has no doubt caused the
support crew additional man hours since they have to manually process any
domain transfers with multi record handles, because their perl script can't
retrieve the whois output to be parsed for the admin contact. This has
already happened to me a few times.
Attention OpenSRS Developers:
Send me a copy of your whois perl script and I'll send you a patch to fix
this problem.
Example to show what is happening and what should happen:
# fwhois bang.com@whois.opensrs.net
[whois.opensrs.net]
No match for BANG.COM
# fwhois bang.com@whois.crsnic.net
[whois.crsnic.net]
