[DBWG] Whois Testing Instance Service.

[Sylvain BAYA]

Dear DBWG participants,

Hope this email finds you in health!

~°~
tl;dr
The INRM feedback form [1] had a question;
which i answered as follow:

"The test-whois.afrinic.net service should be
improved to better support all the actions that
can be performed via the AfriNIC’sWhois service
actually in production."

Cameroon)*

/tl;dr
~°~

Here is the context!
We (cmNOG, CAMIX, Douala-IX, CmrCS, COI)
helped to organise a meetup (ACME :: AfriNIC
Cameroon's Members Engagement) for AfriNIC's
members in Cameroon, which basically served
this time (20260928) to train domestic resource
members on Whois matters.

During the training session, we used the service
offered by AfriNIC through test-whois.afrinic.net.

Thanks! when we wanted to do more tasks; which
needed more `whois` command options.

cacty at shalom:~$ `TZ='UTC' date --rfc-3339='seconds' && \
whois -h test-whois.afrinic.net -- "test" \
# from AS15964 at Bhome`

For instance, when we tried to do all the needful;
in order to protect WhoisDB objects like "person"
or"organisation" with "mntner" objects and "auth"
objects...

Then, i thougt:

"The test-whois.afrinic.net service should be
improved to better support all the actions that
can be performed via the AfriNIC’sWhois service
actually in production." ...and even more than
that: it could be used as a beta testing place :-/

...i don't know for you; but let me know, please.

Shalom,
--sb.
