Node WHOIS is a WHOIS client for Node.js.

Usage
var whois = whois
You may pass an object in between the address and the callback function to tweak the behavior of the lookup function:
"server": "" // this can be a string ("host:port") or an object with host and port as its keys; leaving it empty makes lookup rely on servers.json "follow": 2 // number of times to follow redirects "timeout": 0 // socket timeout, excluding this doesn't override any default timeout value "verbose": false // setting this to true returns an array of responses from all servers "proxy": // (optional) SOCKS Proxy "ipaddress": "" "port": 0 "type": 5 // or 4
