Scraping WHOIS systems for thousands domains at once using the WHOIS protocol is easy though. There are "WHOIS History" sites which scrape all domains and then publish the data along with the date of retrieval.
Which would not be necessary if all WHOIS information was fully published in text/XML/whatever form, available for immediate download/rsync to everyone, and refreshed at intervals (say, once a day). This would neatly undercut the business model for these sites and would ensure that anyone who wants the information can get it efficiently. ---rsk
