whois.coza.net.za is unreachable from here over IPv6. It works over IPv4, but as others have noticed it doesn't actually return whois data -- it just gives a URL. For domains that don't end in co.za it just says "Incorrect Query" which is a bit cryptic, I would say, for someone typing "whois blah.net.za" and expecting an answer.

In a more general sense, is that the right server to answer for all names under ZA? Or just for names in the Uniforum SA registry? Or is there a better option for both?
