[db-wg] Re: [ipv6-wg at ripe.net] IPV6 Whois

| We are happy to announce the availability of RIPE Whois servers on IPv6
| network. It is now possible to query whois.ripe.net and test-whois.ripe.net
| from an IPv6 host, using an IPv6 enabled whois client. If your system doesn't
| already have one, you can find the latest RIPE Whois client at:
Hi Can,

I cannot reach the server from AS12859, nor from AS8954.

--- whois.ripe.net ping6 statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

A traceroute from me (2001:7b8:3:17:202:b3ff:fe10:d926) to you gives:
 1  dapje-gw.ipv6.network.bit.nl  0.383 ms  0.286 ms  0.269 ms
 2  jun1.telecity.ipv6.network.bit.nl  1.537 ms  1.552 ms  1.505 ms
 3  nikipv6.ripe.net  3.378 ms  3.035 ms  3.111 ms
 4  nikipv6.ripe.net  4.432 ms !P  3.248 ms !P  3.288 ms !P

And telnetting to port 43 of whois.ripe.net does not do much:
$ telnet 2001:610:240:0:193::135 whois
Trying 2001:610:240:0:193::135...
^C

Please advise.
