Description david 2002-10-25 03:20:01 UTC 
	Just as one actually queries whois.ripe.net to determine
	delegation of European netblocks, there is now a Latin American
	WHOIS server, whois.lacnic.net.

	The supplied patch adds support to query whois.lacnic.net, both
	automagically, and via (explicit) -l flag.

How-To-Repeat: 	whois 200.34.123.2	# as a quasi-random IP address that I
				# figured would be under LACNIC's ovesight.

	Note that what you see is a referral to LACNIC.

	Then apply the below patches; re-make whois, and try again.
	This time, you see that the 200.34.112/20 CIDR block has
	been reassigned to CITI, of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

	I took a stab at updating the man page, too.

Committed to -current; MFC in one week.  The only change I made in the 
committed version is the addition of -l to usage() and synopsis in the 
manual.
