rwhois site, and other questions

[Keri Medei]

I'm trying to query the root.rwhois.net from the webpage 

http://www.rwhois.net/rwhois/products/web/

but I'm getting no answer. Is there something wrong? I wanted to look at
the files so that I can make sure that the information that I'm putting
into my files is correct. (if you have a sample of an actual
net-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx config, I'd appreciate it)

When I've been querying my server through the website, it's come up ok,
but with no information, not even the sample files.

Which brings me to my next problem, and that's how I use the
rwhois_indexer. I've read everything that I can get my hands on, but I
don't understand some of it.

I'm going to be using rwhois to get more IP address space from ARIN,
instead of SWIPing everything out. I'm thinking that this might have an
impact on what I'm putting in for the indexer.

So, if anyone happens to be using rwhois for the same reason, could you
send me the exact "wording" for the rwhois_indexer to work correctly?

I've been reading everything that I can find on rwhois, including the rfc,
and the archives (which do seem out of date) and anything available on the
web, but I'm hoping to find a "rwhois for dummies" book. :) 

I am also documenting the steps that I take to configure the rwhois
package, and would be more then happy to send a copy (when finished) to
everyone, perhaps it will lessen the amount of questions such as the ones
that I'm asking that are posted to the list. :)

Your help is much appreciated,

Sincerely,

Keri Medei
