>Description:
	Let's say I want to obtain all networks connected to AS5617.
	I should do the folllowing:

		whois -r "-i origin AS5617"

	Instead, I get the following:
		
		> whois -r "-i origin AS5617"
		whois: illegal option --
		usage: whois [-adgilmpQrR6] [-c country-code | -h hostname] name ...

	I know that this is how this version of whois works, but it
	should...

>How-To-Repeat:
	> whois -r "-i origin AS5617"
        whois: illegal option --
        usage: whois [-adgilmpQrR6] [-c country-code | -h hostname]
	name ...

>Fix:

telnet: connect to address 2001:610:240:0:193::202: No route to host
