[AusNOG] microsoft.com whois

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Yeah, unless you put an = before whatever you want to show, actually does a
wildcard match.  usually there's only one result, so the whois server
returns that result.  If it returns multiple results, it returns a list,
and you need to specifically query with = to get the result you want.

WHOIS contains both domain names, AND nameserver records.   So adding
something to the 'microsoft.com' whois is as simple as adding a child
nameserver to your domain. :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
