This really can't be done.

whois.internic.net will show you which registar you should query to get the
info on the domain you specified. If I register my domain with another
registar, whois.networksolutions.com won't have my info.

The now 'correct' procedure is to whois it on whois.internic.net, then do it
again based on what it says.

Here's what can be done, though:  the -current whois (should be merged back
to 3.x soon IMO), it does this.  This also works with hosts registered
with any registrar.
