We could implement an active referral service if there was strong demand 
for it. However, I wonder whether taping lots of whois servers together 
with web interfaces and scripting is the right way to go. As I understand 
it, the protocol being developed by the IETF's WEIRDS WG "SHOULD be able 
to deliver a reply that is effectively a referral or redirect to another 
server" as well as supporting internationalised addresses and so forth.

That might be a better way to go.

Leo
