Never mind changing it; what about the fact that ISOCNZ published a policy before the old "test" domainz whois server was ever available mandating the output to be consistent with RIPE-181? The ISOCNZ policy document was actually drafted following some consultation with the community, of course, which is perhaps what scared Domainz away from it. To be of optimal usefulness, why not code a whois server which can output in a variety of formats, including RIPE-181 and Domainz's own template format? whois -h whois.domainz.net.nz patho.gen.nz [RIPE-181 format data] whois -h whois.domainz.net.nz -t patho.gen.nz [Domainz template format data] Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
