The AUP is the same for both systems.

The intent of each system is different however.  If you are intending to do
massive scripting of any sort, we prefer (and appreciate) that traffic going
to the batch pool.  This is for two (main) reasons

1) Verisign registry allows certain types of traffic to go to certain of
their registry pools.  Regular traffic for regular registrations, and
"batch" pool for massive scripting - typically against name dropped.  We've
mimicked this architecture by placing a system outside of our normal pool.
2) The two different types of traffic have two different kinds of effects on
our system.  By allowing you to point your traffic at two systems, we can
provision accordingly.  I.E. the rr-n1-tor system for regular traffic is
designed and setup in such a way that normal traffic across all systems is
best provisioned and handled.  The batch pool is typically used for data
gathering from the RWI and attempting to get dropped names (primarily from
Verisign, but for CIRA's TBR as well, etc).  It's tweaked to handle this
traffic.

By isolating the traffic we allow the best service in both systems, can get
more realistic usage data from each system (instead of having data from one
type of traffic obfuscating the other).

The intent of the AUP is to disincent resellers from abusing our systems in
any way.  The general guidelines are something to keep in mind regardless of
which system you're using.  It's our way of saying "This is what we suggest,
please keep these things in mind, if you're naughty or affect system
performance we have recourse to remedy the situation"
