Hey Byron,
Thanks for the response (only 3 weeks ;-)
I have some people who are looking at leasing address space (in both
directions).
They are wondering that while they lease it, could they run their own
WHOIS server, and relay queries from the lessor of the space to the lessee.
Make sense?

Hi Skeeve,
Unfortunately this is not technically possible. The WHOIS protocol
doesn't have a referral or redirection mechanism; you can of course
list your own server in remarks attributes, but there's no standard
approach that lets clients follow this advice to reach another server.
If you can share the motivation or drivers for the request, perhaps
we can find another way to help solve the problem?

Subject: [apnic-talk] Chaining Whois Requests
Hey all,
Is there anyway, with APNIC, to setup requests to come to your
own whois server - for your ranges?
