and i don't just whois off arin, so i didn't create the alias. I whois off so many diff rwhois servers depending on the sitution i just type it out. I could alias all the common ones... netsol, arin, dotster etc... but i type so damn fast i haven't really found it to be incredibly useful
i would never use windows for a server, the thought frightens me. I have 3 BSD machines and two solaris boxen, i prefer BSD.
EDIT: Yes, i use NMAP
