Hi Eldon,
No, it's not broken, only yours is. Here's the part of the output I get for moondog that isn't legal disclaimers:<PRE>

Try the command:
nslookup -sil com.whois-servers.net
If that doesn't resolve then the problem is your DNS servers. That appears to be an alias for whois.verisign-grs.com. If that resolves, see if you can configure your "whois" to use that instead.
