As somebody else answered on Nanog a couple of weeks ago,
"rwhoisd is very old software that has had no development attention
for many, many years."
The DNS info for rwhois.net is seriously screwed (NS info points to
ns{1,2}.verisignlabs.com - which don't exist according to the servers
for verisignlabs.com).
Why do you waste your time on rwhois?
