I'm looking for two bits of feedback actually.

Someone who can voice a preference for RIPE's whoisd (server) over RWhoisd. (Release 1.5.0) or the other way around? Which of the
two is the best/easiest to manage.

What sort of resources are needed. Hardware/bandwidth for a whois server to operate effectively. I know a Cray would be nice, but in
the real world, what is being used.. :-)

lastly - for now - does anyone have any scripts that semi-automate the connection between OpenSRS's reg_sys stuff and the entries
into the whois object database.

Thanks for any feedback
Bob
