It is more flexible...

Then the refer attrib could be refer: <forward-type> <whois-server-type> <host> [<port>] I guess the whois-server-type isn't needed on forward-type b, but it look= s good for consistency... (it's up to the client to use it then) -- Robert Martin-Leg=E8ne (RM59), Network Manager (AS2109)
