[2] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfc1036/whois/next/tld_serv_listThe list originates at whois.iana.org... which is a server that seems to respond to whois queries nicely. So we could just update whois-server-name to that? And remove whois-server-tld.
That would be ideal/simpler, but whois.iana.org only contains information about the whois server to use for each TLD. For instance whois -h whois.iana.org gnu.org tells you that the whois server to contact is whois.pir.org. 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. IOW again, a whois request would become:
whois -h $(whois -h whois.iana.org DOMAIN | grep '^whois:' | cut -d: -f2) DOMAIN Would that be acceptable?
