A customer says they want to park a domain with us. In theory, they should have registered that domain already. But when I look it up with whois, I get this:
jcastro@localhost:~$ whois notactuallythedomaininquestion.br

%
% whois.registro.br accepts only direct match queries. Types
% of queries are: domain (.br), registrant (tax ID), ticket,

What does it mean? A truly nonexistent domain doesn't give me that blocked_word line, instead it gives:
jcastro@localhost:~$ whois randomwordsalad.br

% No match for randomwordsalad.br
