Creating whois-servers.txt
Starting from version 1.20, you can create your own WHOIS servers list to override the default
servers defined by WhoisCL.
In order to use this feature, follow the instructions below:
- Create a file named 'whois-servers.txt' in the same folder of WhoisCL.exe
- Add the needed servers to the list. Each line should contain the domain extension, a space
character, and then the whois server address. For example:
gov whois.nic.gov
com rs.internic.net
il whois.isoc.org.il
ir whois.nic.ir
- In the next time that you run WhoisCL, the specified servers will be used instead of the
default servers list stored in WhoisCL.
Be aware that WhoisCL only supports WHOIS servers in port 43. It doesn't support Web-based WHOIS requests.
