Incorrect server for .ae

[era]

Binary package hint: whois

I'm speculating the "Connection refused" means the server name in whois is wrong. There is a whois server at whois.aeda.net.ae which appears authoritative. They offer a web lookup at http://whois.aeda.net.ae/ as well.

ubuntu@ubuntu$ whois example.ae
connect: Connection refused

ubuntu@ubuntu$ lsb_release -rd
