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.That's fine. The only issue here is whether whois.iana.org is designed for this kind of use -- if not, it might be abusive of Emacs to do this, and we should indeed keep the server list updated in Emacs.
As far as I can see, whois.iana.org is indeed designed for this kind of use, and the GNU/Linux whois command even has an option to do this (-I). But I'm not 100% sure. Do you think it's better if I first check this with IANA?
