Reason number two this week why competiting registrars doing recusive
whois lookups on each others whois servers is bad. Network Solutions has
designed their whois server to block queries if they receive a certain
number from one location in a certain amount of time.
Reason number one was demonstrated earlier when someone was using the
Network Solutions Registrar whois server to check OpenSRS registered
domains. Network Solutions had an invalid IP address for OpenSRS.
