I use whois.opensrs.net by default when querying domains because it is
recursive and also gets the true into from the main whois server listed.
However, It appears Network Pollutions has instigated a query limit
against servers and OpenSRS is hitting it.
When I do some queries (not all) I get:
====================================================*
* Welcome to the NSI Registrar Whois Server
*
* Your query limit has been exceeded.
