Re: RWI Main Menu: scrolling forever

Hi Josh,

My previous post will clear the View domain air. As for whois, I have to say
that you will likely never see this functionality introduced in the RWI
(quickstart for old times sake ;).

There are just so many whois tools available that adding this functionality
just doesn't make sense channel wide. I'm sure your need is real but I just
see too many policing issues with adding it to the RWI. 6000 resellers
hammering the RWI for whois lookups gives me performance nightmares ;-)
Imagine all the spam houses that would suddenly think that becoming a
reseller was a good idea...yuk.

Domain check...yes we need to find a way to get that in there...filling out
a form just to realize that the domain is taken is frustrating. I've
experienced this many times myself. This one isn't such a quick fix but
we'll see what we can come up with.

Cheers,

James
