I'm trying to move 2 web-servers (with German and Russian domain names) from one hoster to another one (where I can create/maintain own DNS zones).
Before changing anything, I'd like to fetch and save the current zone file (sp?) for future reference.
On my CentOS 6 machine (not the web server to be moved) I've installed jwois packet and then I'm trying:
whois mysite-1.ru
and
whois mysite-2.de
but it returns some free-formatted (and differently-formatted) text. How do I fetch the zone file or whatever it is called (sorry, I have knowledge gaps there)?
