Have you tried Better Who is? Here's a bookmarklet for them to add to your
favorites (javascript is all on one line). Great for looking up as you surf:

javascript:x=window.prompt("Domain name to check","");if(x !=
""){WhoisURL=("http://www.betterwhois.com/bwhois.cgi?"+x);window.top.loc
ation=WhoisURL;}



HTH!
