You might want to consider installing a copy of the GeekTools proxy CGI on your own server. That way your connections to the OpenSRS WHOIS server aren't mixed with everyone else's. http://www.geektools.com/software.php We did this and it works nicely. (I personally would like to see OpenSRS do *more* rate limiting of the WHOIS, because it would prevent DRoA, etc. from harvesting so many addresses.) ------------------------------------ Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies
