NAME whois2 - recursively queries whois servers. SYNOPSIS whois2 domain[@server] [domain[@server]] ... DESCRIPTION The whois2 command recursively queries whois servers. This makes it simple to determine the complete information about domain ownership in today's shared registry system. For each domain listed on the command line, whois2 will query the server given. (If no server is given for that domain, whois2 will query whois.crsnic.net.) Whois2 will print out the response. If the response contains a 'Whois Server:' field, whois2 will then proceed to contact that server and repeat the request.
