this is what we intend to do ...... netsol does it too i believe ..... its a
good way to tackle this issue....

i am looking at the following rulesets (sort of a whitelist instead of a

* allow only say abt 20 Whois request per ip/subnet per day

* anyone who wants more than that can contact us with an appropriate reason
and we put them into a white list which will allow them a higher predefined
limit
