Mike,
You should deal with a registrar for this information, since that is one
of the services they can provide for you.
If you are interested in the cross-reference list, please see
http://www.pir.org/whois_search/registrar_whois_ids, which can be
accessed via the link at http://www.pir.org/whois_search/.
In addition, if you choose to use the web-based whois, then you can use
the link on the whois output for the registrar - so for example, the
domain nanog.org is at
http://www.pir.org/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?yes_popup_flag=3D0&whois_query_field=
=3D
domain+NANOG.ORG, and using the link for Sponsoring Registrar, in this
example "NSI(R63-LROR)" will give information on how to reach the
registrar - see
http://www.pir.org/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?yes_popup_flag=3D0&whois_query_field=
=3D
registrar+id+R63-LROR.
I will pass on your offer of career advice ;-)

During the recent changes to .org, whois stopped being useful for what=20
I need.
> Sponsoring Registrar:R11-LROR
All I really want to know is the Registrar's name/URL to tell my client=20
so they can modify their nameservers.
Does anyone have:
1) A URL to the table that will allow me to lookup a name from the=20
above code (or better, a hack to whois that will do said lookup for=20
me)?
2) The e-mail address where I should my suggestion that the person who=20
came up with this brilliant scheme needs to pursue a new career in a=20
non-IT related field?
TIA,
Mike
