It's a real pain to remember which whois server to use for which kinds of queries. The geektools.com whois proxy takes care of all that for you, interfacing with the correct
whois server for your query. This version avoids all of the assorted nastiness that comes along with executing programs on your server using user input, as it directly connects

plan on using this code are encouraged to run their own local copy of the geektools proxy, and save the load on whois.geektools.com.
