[arin-discuss] Flaky whois

[Hannigan, Martin]

I tried this this morning quite a few times and my results are all clean and
consistent -- I'm doing this from public wireless as well:

hannigan at clue-store> time whois 28.0.0.0

real    0m0.245s
user    0m0.001s
sys    0m0.004s


That symptom reminds me of broken Solaris DNS, reverse IIRC.


Best,
