[dns-operations] [ Slightly OT ]So, how to run a whois server for a given TLD?

[Mark Jeftovic]

Our whois script is brain dead simple:

- listen on port 43
- read domain on stdin
- [ do stuff - sanitize / db retrieval / IP throttling / etc ]
- print record to stdout

Our volume is low enough it can just launch out of xinetd
