[db-wg] whois_rip feature request, multiple inverse attribute queries needed

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

I was thinking about that problem as well (due to some work I am doing
together with Arnd who made the original post).

Yes, but only for the same kind of attributes, right? Means I cannot
search for admin-c and mnt-by in the same -i query like I would do with

whois -i tech-c,mnt-by toc76-ripe,CW-EUROPE-GSOC

but of course

whois -i admin-c,tech-c toc76-ripe

works.

operation.

operation.

So the question if it is a OR or a AND operation is a second point
beneath that and would apply to searching only i.e. "pn" attributes and
serching multiple different attributes.

Tobias
