Anyone know why the register.com whois servers are blocking giving full whois replies to the opensrs.net whois servers?
When I run a whois across the whois.opensrs.net server for a domain that register.com is the registrar on, I get partial results, then:
=======================================================================
We're sorry, but at this time, register.com is not in a position to provide
you with the WHOIS information you have requested.  The IP address from
which you have visited register.com has been temporarily blocked due to its
association with excessive queries on our system.  Register.com has blocked
this IP address in order to prevent any adverse impact to our systems which
could prevent other WHOIS requests from being properly processed.  We
apologize about the inconvenience, and encourage you to renew your request
in about 24 hours.
=======================================================================
So, wouldn't this indicate that they are blocking the opensrs server since that's where I made the query?
Thanks,
-Mark
