Hello,
I am trying to write a custom bulk WHOIS checker in PHP for a client, and I'm having trouble finding a good WHOIS server for the .com and .net addresses.

The problem is that the client wants expiry dates and admin contact emails returned for each domain. This was easy for the .org domains, but most WHOIS servers don't return the admin email addresses.

I tried:
whois.internic.net = No email addresses...
whois.crsnic.net = No email addresses...
whois.tucows.com = Inconsistant, (different format for each record)...

Has anyone tried anything similar, or know of any other WHOIS servers I can query? Any help would be greatly appressiated!
