I just tried to run a whois on a com.au domain, and, what I got was: ------- [<echidna>-]whois aname.com.au
BLACKLISTED: You have exceeded the query limit for your IP address and have been blacklisted. This restriction will be removed in 24 hours. %%% End of referred query result ------- it 's only on 'com.au' domains I get that, other whois servers reply OK this whois was executed from my web/mail/dns server, there are no shell users (apart from me, infequently). today was 1st time in days if not weeks that I executed whois I guess it's implying there is some recurrent whois queries running from a web user ?? perplexed.
