Hello people, I am lost as to where to do whois queries these days. It seems that every TLD extension has been assigned to some particular registrar (or what do I call it?) What is the sane way of doing whois for "any" domain extension (.com/.org/.biz, etc)? OpenSRS recently said they are limiting the number of queries/day that a given IP range can do on their servers. Now this is restrictive, but what if I have to run a script that will do more than the "allowed" queries per day? I have to wait till next day and next day and .. Is it sane to think that I can run my own local whois server/interface? If yes, I'll appreciate some pointers. It would be nice if I had an interface to whois on our website. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Kerr's Three Rules for a Successful College: Have plenty of football for the alumni, sex for the students, and parking for the faculty.
