There's some awful tinpot domain registrars out there where you have

to the CRSNIC server is good and no worse than to any other server I
may wish to query for purposes of black- or greylisting.

Doing live queries of domain names like that, on the fly - even if you cache lookup data - will lead to your IP getting rate limited or even blocked by most whois servers, unless you register your IP with them for doing bulk whois lookups.
