>Description:

# whois -6 2a01:d0::1
whois: connect(): Connection refused

In man whois written:
     -6      Use the IPv6 Resource Center (6bone) database.  It contains net-
             work names and addresses for the IPv6 network.


>How-To-Repeat:
#whois -6 2a01:d0::1
>Fix:
Rui Paulo advised to use whois -h whois.ripe.net 
Please correct whois server for detecting ipv6 networks.
Also fix the man whois, option "-6"
