#### Caching referral WHOIS servers
The way that WHOIS scales is by having one "main" WHOIS server, namely `whois.iana.org:43`, refer to other WHOIS server
on a per-TLD basis.
In other word, let's say that you wanted to have the WHOIS information for `example.com`.
The first step would be to query `whois.iana.org:43` with `com`, which would return `whois.verisign-grs.com`.
Then, you would query `whois.verisign-grs.com:43` for the WHOIS information on `example.com`.
If you're querying a lot of servers, making two queries instead of one can be a little wasteful, hence `WithReferralCache(true)`:
```go
client := whois.NewClient().WithReferralCache(true)
```
The above will cache the referral WHOIS server for each TLD, so that you can directly query the appropriate WHOIS server
instead of first querying `whois.iana.org:43` for the referral.
