IIRC, it's possible to get a bulk feed of whois and SWIP data from ARIN.
You can then build a private query engine against it which does as you
describe. As long as its an internal function (you're not directly
providing the data to third parties) and it's not used for spam or other
marketing activities, ARIN seems generally amenable to granting such
requests.
