whois in a Docker container.
- Docker 1.5+ (previous versions may work fine, but I haven't tried)
Get the trusted build on the docker hub:

$ cd docker-whois
$ docker build -t zeitgeist/docker-whois .
whois is a command line whois client. Its internal database is frequently updated to include new domains.
