Ah - so it's not as easy as I would hope! :)
Oh well - thanks again to all for the replies!
So - does anyone have any ideas on how to get around the "you have exceeded
your query limit" thing? Is there a specific number of hits that NetSol
allows from a certain IP?
Cheers!

No, he's serious. Here's an excerpt (6b. is the item of interest) from the
ICANN Registrar accreditation agreement
http://www.icann.org/nsi/icann-raa-04nov99.htm:
"6. In addition, Registrar shall provide third-party bulk access to the
data subject to public access under Section II.F.1 under the following
terms and conditions:
a. Registrar shall make a complete electronic copy of the data available
at least one time per week for download by third parties who have entered
into a bulk access agreement with Registrar.
b. Registrar may charge an annual fee, not to exceed US$10,000, for such
bulk access to the data."

Running a server that responds to whois queries and having the actual
whois data of the various registrars are two completely different things.
Also, because a registrar *can* charge $10k it doesn't mean that they
are....
