I tested this by doing just a whois query from my linux box yesterday.
Today, the domain is registered to Network Solutions. It may take a
bit longer, but even queries against whois.networksolutions.com seem
to get registered.
Unfortuunately, if the whois program cannot figure out which whois
server to query, it defaults to doing a lookup against
whois.networksolutions.com. Play it safe and force it to use another?
$ whois netsolisrippingpeopleoff.com
Domain Name: NETSOLISRIPPINGPEOPLEOFF.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com

"BEWARE: Don't Search For Names At NetworkSolutions.com
Network Solutions has instituted a 4 day lock on all domain names searched on their
site. They are effectively using phishing techniques to hijack or steal domain names
and forcing domain name registrants to register their names at Network
Solutions."
Hmm, I am now working on a curl script to query every possible
combination of words in the dictionary. Maybe if we do enough of this
every 4 days, no one will be able to register any new domains ever.
Bwa ha ha haa!
