title: How to do a Whois lookup for the new gTLDs?
body: <p>Does anyone know about how to go about doing a  WhoIs lookup (PHP or JavaScript) for the new sponsored TLDs that are coming out  - things like .insurance .guru etc - there appears to be hundreds of them.</p>
  
  <p>In other words as the new domains come on line will a generic query to a single whois server Whois.net??  resolve the new domain names or will there be a different whois server for every tld.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  To clear up some confusion - I am trying to work out domain availability for the new tlds not a dns lookup using the new tlds.  Although thinking about it if a domain is being used it sure isn't available.</p>
