IOW, without a built-in list, each whois query would create two requests, one to whois.iana.org, and one to the actual whois server.I don't see any problems with that, do you?In principle, I don't see any problems. But I seem to recall that RMS dislikes solutions that make unnecessary network connections, or IOW that avoidable network connections should be avoided.If you agree on the general design, I'd be happy to implement it.I don't see a problem, no. We frequently make network connections when necessary.Possibly with a cache to mitigate the above problem.I'd wait with caching until we see a performance problem. It isn't like people are expected to invoke this command many times in a row.
I think you misunderstood what I meant. The idea would be to cache the replies from the whois.iana.org server, not those of the final whois server. IOW, the idea would be to dynamically build a local database instead of relying on a hard-coded list.
