DNS is broken it seems.

Do you know why the websie is not in existing?

google(rwhois) for me 2nd hit gave:

http://projects.arin.net/rwhois/prwhois.html

Which is probably what you want.

As somebody else answered on Nanog a couple of weeks ago,

"rwhoisd is very old software that has had no development attention
for many, many years."

The DNS info for rwhois.net is seriously screwed (NS info points to
ns{1,2}.verisignlabs.com - which don't exist according to the servers
for verisignlabs.com).

Why do you waste your time on rwhois?

Despite RWhois being really old, creaky, and hard to use; people are using
it and there is no current replacement (Whois-RWS looks extremely
promising). To that end, we are working with VeriSign Inc to migrate the
domain rwhois.net to ARIN. We moved the website to ARIN a couple of years
ago but the domain has not yet made it.
