An Unsanctioned Whois Database

Comment posted Nov 05, 2003 6:11 pm PST — by Jay Westerdal
The theory is good at a rough glance.... but over 50% of domains don't have active websites or good DNS. Why not leave the Whois at a more central location like at the Registrar/Registry where it is already. One of the reasons for Whois is to get a hold of the owner and let them know they may have a problem with their network. Seems we need the whois to remain at a central location. The Thin-to-Thick registry migration we are seeing suggests that centralized whois is the popular opinion of the day. Perhaps a good solution is to have the Registrar/Registry sync their records to the owners� local whois IF and only IF they have one available. Overall it sounds like an administration nightmare, so I don't think decentralizing whois is the correct solutions.
