Where can a person go to get a "one stop" WHOIS query for AS and prefix
information instead of trying ARIN, then RIPE, etc?
Thanks,
Dan
... but only for IPv4 networks and ASN. RADB does not mirror person and IPv6 records.
Arnold
The OP asked for AS and prefix information, not person records.
And RADB _is_ RPSLng capable, but RIPE not yet. So there are no
IPv6 records to mirror from there yet.

whois -h completewhois.com ASsingle-number
- will be interpreted as query for ASN
whois -h completewhois.com x.x.x.x
- will be interpreted as query for IP
If engine does not autodetect it properly and you need to force certain
type of query prefix the query with "ip#" for forcing it to be ip query
and "asn#" for ASNs.

Try Marco d'Itri's whois client - Index of /debian/pool/main/w/whois
I kinda like:
whois -h whois.geektools.com foo
Works for IPs, ASes, domains, etc. Auto-detects, no need for "as-foo" or the like. Source is available.
There is a web query at www.geektools.com, but that's silly.
It does limit the number of queries a day, but you can ask them to raise the limit for you if you have legit reasons.

RIPE database mirrors RADB, APNIC, ARIN, VERIO and JPIRR. You may use '-a' flag with whois query to search through all the sources.

On this subject, is there a mirror for TW Nic whois information ?
I get nothing from http://whois.twnic.net/ or a direct whois query to twnic.net.
Is this just down, or is it limited to Taiwan queries ?

whois.twnic.net.tw works.

Thanks to all for your help.
The problem I have is a little more subtle - the records are messed up.
In my BGP tables I see
*> 61.57.240.0/22 63.210.25.153 0 0 3356 15412 17709 18415 i
*> 61.57.240.0/20 63.210.25.153 0 0 3356 15412 17709 18415 i
Arin says that is comes from APNIC, APNIC says
-bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.apnic.net 61.57.240.0
[whois.apnic.net]
% [whois.apnic.net node-2]
% Whois data copyright terms http://www.apnic.net/db/dbcopyright.html
inetnum: 61.56.0.0 - 61.67.255.255
netname: TWNIC-TW
descr: Taiwan Network Information Center
descr: 4F-2, No. 9 Section 2, Roosevelt Road,
descr: Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.
country: TW
(ditto for the ASN)
But TWNic declaims all knowledge
-bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net 61.57.240.0
[whois.twnic.net]
The IPaddress not belong to TWNIC
-bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net as18415
[whois.twnic.net]
Network Error!!
-bash-2.05b$ whois -h whois.twnic.net 18415
[whois.twnic.net]
Network Error!!
It was those "network errors" that made me think that TWNic whois was down.
I since tried it for other TW AS and addr blocks and it works.
So, its a mystery. APNIC says TWNIC, TWNIC declaims all knowledge.
Maybe it's a new registration and will be announced in time.

The very first IP in there -61.57.240.1 - has a reverse DNS that says yulonitsolutions.net - whois for that also says B-Wiz Technology. Snippet from whois -
