  > Does anyone here run their own whois for their own domains using srv records? I don't think that's possible. WHOIS, by design, is controlled by the domain registry, which may delegate it to registrars -- the owner of the domain may have some limited control over the contents (like the registrant information), but they don't get to control it fully, and I've certainly never seen a registrar delegate WHOIS to the domain owner.

    Makes sense. I've only ever seen it delegated when I would swip out a cidr block to a b2b customer and even then the people I interacted with never asked to run their own whois, only custom PTR delegation. I can not find any whois clients that support this expired ietf draft [1] so I assume it was abandoned.
