Online bulk whois checker?

[rjs_essex]

Hi people,

Does anyone have / know of / have a script or website for a bulk online whois checker / lookup tool?...

At work I am behind multiple firewalls and masses of Internet protection so I need a bulk whois checker that works via port 80...

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Rich

I was thinking of redesigning the forum header, since no one can find the donate button either

Ha Ha, very good! It actually took me awhile to find it hidden away up there!

Forums are notoriously difficult to monetise, donations especially difficult to obtain. How is the private membership thing going?

Could you not actually monetise tools like this?

A blank page is'nt much use, it does'nt even link back to the forum.

If you want / need help with this / want to pass it to someone i'd be happy to help with a logo redesign / header.

You could try this one http://www.opposite.com/whois.cgi, only problem is Nominet's stupid rule of allowing only 1000 lookups per day.

Should use whois 2, its free.

Unfortunately, I don't have a static ip address, which I believe whois2 needs.

you could just host it on a website.. thats what I do.

You can't let others use it though, I believe. Or something along those lines.

I think its the other way round.. ie its for others to use

Can I use the WHOIS2 to query the register for myself?
No, the WHOIS2 service is designed to provide a gateway for your clients to access the Nominet WHOIS.You may not use the WHOIS2 service in such a way that you are both the end user and the WHOIS gateway

What can I use the WHOIS2 for?
You can use the WHOIS2 to provide a whois lookup facility for your clients.

 

[dhscott]

So its for Registrars essentially, but not WHOIS lookup sites or for your own personal use?

MultiLook.net :: Bulk Whois. Online version.
they have online bulk whois page as well as bulk whois client for Windows

I have Whois2 access and no tag.

They do however check usage so unless your site is busy they will see your abuse/use. So make a public facing script too

I keep meaning to make a bulk whois tool to utilise my whois2 but I never get around to it , now its used to generate a list of links

I am still curious how a few ISPs have gotten around the 1000 per day per person limit. I also found that whois2 is limited by number of total lookups too

there's a bunch of them out there, but it seems like they all cache everything and some of the datas old

 

[purg]

Ive posted php source for a whois tool here on AD but kept a copy here > dailydomain - domain drop lists Project menu

 

[Skinner]

trophychoc, many sites cache the data do as not to go over the limit (thats their reason anyway), most that I know of that cache tend to request new data if its a week old or close to expirary.
