i came across the amazon whois hack as a result of debugging failed 
whois lookups (on freebsd obv)
given the freebsd method of choosing whois via cnames via from this one 
domain, it's poss a good idea to at least have some seperate name 
servers for whois-servers.net.  Not great that the whois service is down 
as a result of 'redundant' dns services in the same place.

    Name Server: UDNS1.ULTRADNS.NET
    Name Server: UDNS2.ULTRADNS.NET

both down at time of writing,

Paul.
