Marco d'Itri's whois client does quite a lot of what you want,
including automatically following an rwhois referral when it finds one
Of course not much can be done when the rwhois server to which you're
redirected just doesn't respond
suresh@etherkiller 11:33:29 <~> $ telnet rwhois.level3.net 4321
Trying 209.244.1.179...
