[08-09-2000] Dayton.Jones : I need a list of the 'whois' servers for non-US domains. For instance, to lookup siemens.de I need to query whois.nic.de

Not all countries follow that format though. Please help.

[08-09-2000] saintly : That wasn't very convenient. Umm... I'm attaching a text file with the same information and better spacing.
[08-09-2000] saintly : (Attachment) That wasn't very convenient. Umm... I'm attaching a text file with the same information and better spacing.
[08-09-2000] Dayton.Jones : Perfect!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you generate the list from?
[08-09-2000] saintly : Whoops... I really trashed that answer. I just made a PERL program to organize the whois servers listed on this page:

http://www.goice.co.jp/member/mo/amuse/whois.html

into an alpha-by-country list. You can use the same link to query any of those whois servers too! Hope that Helps. :)
