Full Disclosure: Re: www.whois.sc

[Andreas Gietl <a.gietl () e-admin de>]

As the results are not very accurate and i see no possibility to gain
these information directly from the host running the ip or any entries
in die ptr for the ip, i guess they just keep a database of domains and
ther ip-adresses and do a lookup on the ip for that ip.
