This is helpful if you have to pull a delegation in order to mitigate a particular threat. in internic whois because registrar data can not be changed in real-time and transfers are done once or twice a day (as far as I know, this may have changed now too). Best you can get is to do query using whois.completewhois.com since by default our server will do both whois query to internic and dns query to find current deligated dns servers. If they are different you will see this info after nameserver saying "[from dns" where as whois nameserver will be indicated with "[from whois". This can be helpful with some domains that change nameservers often (domains used in phsh emails in particular seem to be used this way). -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [email protected]
