ARIN resets change in the Whois output

ARIN resets change in the Whois output

The North American IP address management ARIN withdrew on Sunday
(October 2, 2011) an amendment introduced at the end of June edition of
its Whois database. ARIN has announced in a statement. The revised
edition has led to the case of users of the whois command line tools to
some confusion.


An output of the whois client for text managed by ARIN IP addresses
follows now back to the old behavior. Before the introduction of a
search was for an existing in-ARIN WHOIS database address the particular
assignment. An address is not contained there led to the answer "no
match". After the change on 25 June responds the database for
non-existent addresses, but with an assignment (ARIN / 8 network).
However, these data were also returned when the requested IP address in
the database was what led to various confusions.

How is spending looked over the text-client with the additional
information can, over the ARIN whois web interface today at the show yet
- the console program whois shows they now no longer.
