1) create a file called ip_list and put all the IP addess in it (indeed, using the word "file" as a name is not a good idea since it is already a standard unix command).
2) create your script and run it :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read ip
do
     whois -r $ip
done<ip_list

Make sure you are in the right directory and that the file you specified exist in this directory
or use absolute file name.

whois

whois(1)							   User Commands							  whois(1)

NAME

       whois - Internet user name directory service

SYNOPSIS

       whois [-h host] identifier

DESCRIPTION

       whois  searches	for  an  Internet directory entry for an identifier which is either a name (such as ``Smith'') or a handle (such as ``SRI-
       NIC''). To force a name-only search, precede the name with a period; to force a handle-only search, precede the handle with an  exclamation
       point.

       To  search  for	a  group or organization entry, precede the argument with * (an asterisk). The entire membership list of the group will be
       displayed with the record.

       You may of course use an exclamation point and asterisk, or a period and asterisk together.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Using The whois Command

       The command:

	 example% whois Smith

       looks for the name or handle SMITH.

       The command:

	 example% whois !SRI-NIC

       looks for the handle SRI-NIC only.

       The command:

	 example% whois .Smith, John

       looks for the name JOHN SMITH only.

       Adding ... to the name or handle argument will match anything from that point; that is, ZU ... will match ZUL, ZUM, and so on.
