Here are a couple more to try:

http://whois.webhosting.info/ - Provides several more details other than the usual information.
http://www.whois.ws/ - Doesn't offer any additional info, but covers pretty much every gTLD and ccTLD.

http://www.internic.net/whois.html is good to, but slow.
You can do search for nameservers.

I use one called http://www.allwhois.com mainly because it is simple and easy to use. I use it to check and see when domain names have propogated properly.

I use Domain Inspect 1.5 from http://www.antssoft.com and its quite good for bulk whoising. It supports almost all first and second level domains and if a new tld appears like .in, it downloads configuration file and gets updated in seconds.
