MWHOIS.CONF(5)			Debian GNU/Linux		  MWHOIS.CONF(5)

NAME
     mwhois.conf - alternative WHOIS servers list for mwhois client

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/etc/mwhois.conf

DESCRIPTION
     This  file  contains  a list of WHOIS servers which can augment or override
     the built-in list of the client.

     It's a plain text file in ASCII encoding. Each line consists of two fields:
     a pattern to match WHOIS object identifier and a corresponding WHOIS server
     domain name.

     Fields are separated by non-empty sequence of space or  a	tabular  charac-
     ters.  A line starting with a hash character is a free comment and it's not
     considered.

     The  pattern  is  case-insensitive  extended  regular  expression if mwhois
     client has been compiled with POSIX regular expressions support. Otherwise,
     simple case-insensitive suffix comparison against WHOIS  object  identifier
     is used.

     Internationalized	domain names (IDN) must be specified in ascii-compatible
     encoding (ACE) format.

EXAMPLE
     \.nz$	       nz.whois-servers.net
     # Hangul Korean TLD
     \.xn--3e0b707e$   whois.kr
     # Private ASNs
     ^as645(1[2-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-4])$    whois.example.net
