Cannot find ip range in whois output

[gnarlymarley]

The IPv6 ranges returned from the lacnic whois is being properly detected.  It appears that most of the whois servers return inet6num, but lacnic seems to be returning inetnum.  For documentation, the IPv4 seems to be coming back as NetRange for all whois.  It would appear that lacnic is going to stay with this as they have used this since they started on IPv6.  Can we have the code in the whois section be able to pick up lacnic's IPv6 range?

one possible option would be to do a regex swap when the whois is pulled into the cache such as:

s/inetnum/inet6num/

 

[gnarlymarley]

Or in perl speak:

$whoisoutput =~ s/inetnum/inet6num/ if $whoisoutput =~ m/inetnum:.*?::/;

The if is so IPv4 is ignored.  Would be better to have full IPv6 address detection in place of the "::".
