The COM and NET registry is in the process of transitioning into thick whois format and the registrar whois server token has changed in the registry whois. While this may or may not be related to the transition it has caused the secondary whois lookups to not occur in all our domain name management software tools. You can easily fix this with a simple configuration change.
We will be updating all the software products on Monday (July 31, 2017) after which this manual configuration will not be required. We have updated most of our software products.
