That is why you don't put the "wassup.cgi" on the same server whose
status you are reporting. So don't be shy of implementing it ! ;-)

PS: I'm sure there would be enough reasons why not to implement it, but
please realize that you make me lose money(and time) if my customers have
to call me up regaring registrations / lookup unavailability, and then I
have to in turn spend time writing you / the list ... while it could be
all the time apparent from my web pages ! ... Very ineffective ... This
situation doesn't make me excited about OpenSRS ...
