Was I asleep the day that someone mentioned that whois.domainz.net.nz no longer existed, or is it simply a temporary situation this afternoon that prevents me from getting anything useful from there...??...if it's gone, can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative for the .nz domain space..
whois.srs.net.nz That talks directly to the SRS database using the SRS Registrar/Registry protocol. The output format is similar, but different from the Domainz one; the format is documented at: http://dnc.org.nz/content/srs-whois-spec.html (A quick test suggests that the fix for the bug that Joe Abley mentioned to me (regarding timezone formatting) has gone live.) Last I heard whois.domainz.net.nz was eventually going to be pointed at the whois.srs.net.nz server (because "whois.domainz.net.nz" is hardcoded as a name into some whois clients), but AFAIK that hasn't been done yet. It appears that whois.domainz.net.nz is just down at present, and presumably will be back up again RSN.
