This question should be posted directly to OpenSRS instead of the
discussion list... but...
If you want to run a script against the whois server there's really little
we can do - however, how you use that information can be damaging to your
status as an RSP. I'll give you some advice that you may want to heed.
1) Make 100% sure you're only getting your own customer's information.
2) Do it slowly. If you need the information, let it take a few days
instead of trying to suck it all at once. Say, do a query every 5 or 10
seconds.
I don't recommend this method as a viable way of tracking your customer's
information - keeping a local database is far better for integrity,
especially if you can front end our manage.cgi with your own systems to
keep the data sets accurate.
