That was indeed us. We had to discontinue the service because the NetSol
registrar whois started metering whois lookups and the tracking was
maxing us out too quickly each month.

Other whois servers have since began following suit (bulkregister either
meters or bans outright).

I've since thought of ways to optimize that, and even considered bringing
back tracking and just not offerring it on NetSol domains (yet another
reason to move away ;)

So maybe we will bring it back...

But, if you are handy with php you can download the toolkit and code
your own fairly easily, http://phpwhois.com
