>Description:
FreeBSD-4.4 ChangeLog says:
-----
whois(1) now directs queries for IP addresses to ARIN. If a query to ARIN references APNIC or RIPE, the appropriate server will also be queried, provided that the -Q option is not specified.
-----
This is really nice, but you're missing a couple of whois authorities, that is BRNIC/Brazil, KRNIC/Korea and JPNIC/Japan.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
abuseEmail's whois engine supports all those authorities, check out its source code at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/abuseemail/abuseEmail-1/
Especially file XWhoisIP.pm and function do_whois() in main.pl

Basically it's the same as with APNIC and RIPE, but you match BRAZIL, KRNIC and JPNIC with whois.nic.br, whois.krnic.net and whois.nic.ad.jp.

State-Changed-When: Sun Dec 9 14:40:34 PST 2001 
State-Changed-Why:  

Support has been added for Brazil in -CURRENT and -STABLE.  Nothing 
can be done with the other two until ARIN recognizes Korean and 
Japanese IP blocks as being not controlled by APNIC.
