[registrars] NSI Whois Filtering...

This was passed on to me today. If you start experiencing technical problems
connecting to NSI's whois system, this new "security" process might be the
culprit.

> please send me a list of the IP addresses that your organization

> Please submit these to me by COB July 30th, 2001.
