Whois/RWhois Server - what is everyone running..?
We are looking into the possibility of implementing our own RWhois server as opposed to continuing to provide information via SWIP. I am looking for any advice as to what people are currently running for their whois/rwhois server. I have seen http://www.rwhois.net and actually have it installed and running, but it utilized flat files instead of a backend database, and we have looked at the RIPE whois server as well. Searching Google does not seem to produce a variety of whois/rwhois server software. TIA ! ****************************************** Richard J. Sears

When I started working at CentralNic, I found it was little more than a Perl script hanging off inetd. I replaced it with an Apache-style preforked daemon (still written in Perl) that cached database handles and the like, with the intent that this was a proof of concept for a C++ version. As is typical, the Perl worked well enough that it didn't get rewritten :) [...]
