OT - New(er) WhoIs

["Glenn A. Bookout" <gblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy:

   FWIW, I was playiing around w/ some of the Widgets available in OSX 
10.4 and ran across a WhoIs source I hadn't seen before:

               <www.whois.sc>

   It's pretty nifty in that:

        1)  It seems to find domains for all registrars ( no Network 
Solutions blockage ).

        2)  It gives a ton of info about the domain, including 
un/registered TLD options, screen shot of main page, how many other 
domains at that IP if virtual hosting, and other possibly interesting 
stuff ( note also the image usage for registered eMail addresses ).

       3)  Links to other interesting stats, etc. on the WWW in general.

   One of the interesting links is to the worldwide IP allocations list 
in case you want to know who has class "A" registrations ( Apple is one 
of the few companies ), or want to easily block whole areas of the 
globe ( RIPE, APNIC, etc. ):

               <http://www.whois.sc/internet-statistics/world-ip.html>

   For those that can use widgets, the actual name is "Whoisdget.wdgt", 
and it should be available via VersionTracker.com, or one of the 
growing number of widget sites.  It works by you entering the requested 
domain in the widget, then it opens a page of results in your default 
browser.

   Enjoy.

Glenn
