point - they're trying to restrict the practicality of attempting to harvest the data and an open to the public whois server with no access restrictions would defeat that.
I don't know that this is the case, I suspect it's resource management. If the database is getting slaughtered by applications on uncontrolled auto pilot, it's unusable for the rest of us.
well, the OP quoted a portion of the aup that requires bulk whois data recipients to take measures to prevent harvesting, so i presume that arin does care about that and, in fact, that consideration is likely the reason they declined to permit the OP to run *his own* whoisd off of his *local* copy of the data. -p --- paul galynin
