What IS going on with rwhois? I heard some talk at the SF ARIN meeting about enhancing the rwhois code and making it more workable for ISPs. IMHO - SWIP is a generally inferior system ... at least to the potential of using rwhois. The real leverage comes if it can be integrated into larger distributed database systems. [snip]
Traffic on the DBWG list is light (I'm just as guilty of not enough time as other people on the list). The last thread involved making the ARIN IRR actually useful, swip/whois/IRR-like models, etc. I'd encourage those of us in the ARIN region to be involved in makingthe wheezing steam-engines better. http://www.arin.net/governance/workgroups.htm#da says: "The Database Implementation Working Group was formed to discuss problems with existing database systems and how to address them."
