- )get the record for the former Soviet Union by asking about 'su1-dom'.
- )But this pattern is inconsistent, since there is no 'yu1-dom' or
- )'co1-dom'.
-
- The command line clients work for all the whois options available by
- telnetting to NIC. In your case,
-
- whois -h nic.ddn.mil "domain xx"
-
- seemed to get the matches and
-
- whois -h nic.ddn.mil "!su1-dom"
-
- got the right match.
