We have setup a so called "EP-Dev Whois script".
In the config file you can add nameservers to check for
availability^of different TLD's.
We have the problem that the server responds that domain is taken when
it is not and viceversa.
It seems that some servers request a special value to be sent for query.
I.E the "whois.ripe.net" seem to need such a value but I cannot find
what value to set under "$NAMESERVERS['servers_with_special'] =
array(".
Can anyone please help.
I paste the script of the config.php herefater.

Your Currency - Acceptable values here: "us", "uk", "eu", "custom:s:d:ds:ts".

Setting it to = "eu" will output 10 as ?10,00
Using the custom is as follows: "custom:sign:decimals:decimal

Thus, if we decided to custom set UK currency (this is just example,
please use "uk")
then it would look like "custom:£:2:.:," as a custom setting. This

to setup the whois script to use any currency.

last remark, I have tried with "whois.ripe.net" => "-i ace,ns ", but
this does not work (still in the script) |
