Good question.  I've been seeing similar results command line, and
additionally I've noted some problems with the web-based whois as well.

Subject: whois.internic.net problems?


Anyone know what is up with whois.internic.net? It seems to be having
serious problems.

When using a command line whois, it either hangs "forever" or gets a
connection refused.
About 1 time in 5 can I get a query to work. I have tried it from both our
local systems
and a hosted server we use and get the same results. When trying to report
bogus
registration data using http://reports.internic.net/cgi/rpt_whois/rpt.cgi, I
get
"Unable to connect to registry whois, please try later" most of the time.

Anyone have any idea what gives? Are they getting DDOSed or something?

Thanks!
Jon K.
