Among these shortcomings, different registries operate different WHOIS services. For users this implies that several WHOIS queries to different registries may be necessary in order to obtain data for a given resource. This document describes a redirection service for RESTful WHOIS queries. This service allows users to query a single WHOIS service and be redirected to the authoritative registry. The solution implemented proposed here applies to Regional Internet Registries(RIRs) and Domain Name Registries(DNRs).}, }
