#As currently stated, the footnote at 409 is factually incorrect. WHOIS is
#NOT a manual protocol. Port 43 WHOIS protocol is fully automated.
#Registrars and other parties make millions upon millions of automated
#queries to port 43 WHOIS servers every day.
#
#Some port 43 servers are rate-limited (via IP, etc.) to prevent WHOIS mining
#by spammers, etc.
#
#Joe's interested in a system that would make certain data available in a
#higher-volume fashion than is available via rate-limited WHOIS.
Exactly (however I don't think I'm the only one interested, e.g., Marc
has been a strong champeon of data-based methods...
