The default server for whois needs to be changed to RS.INTERNIC.NET.

What were you trying to do?
% where whois
/usr/ucb/whois
/bin/whois
/usr/bin/whois


What's wrong:
% /usr/ucb/whois mit.edu
No match for "MIT.EDU".

Please note that all INTERNET Domain, IP Network Number, and ASN
records are now kept in the new Internet Registry, RS.INTERNIC.NET.
This whois server only contains DOD Information.

% /bin/whois mit.edu
No match for "MIT.EDU".

Please note that all INTERNET Domain, IP Network Number, and ASN
records are now kept in the new Internet Registry, RS.INTERNIC.NET.
