APNIC is currently (so far this year) averaging slightly over 2/sec for overall queries, higher during busy periods. At the standard rate of growth, this will probably be exceeding the current box/code combination by August (by which time we should be running new code). shane> I know a lot of queries from both ARIN and RIPE are people doing data shane> mining, and I suspect that this is true for all other Whois registries shane> as well.

The APNIC whois server has code to automatically deny access to people based on the standard 'leaky bucket' method (exceed certain number of queries per hour, no access until the attempted query rate dies down), but this is currently not active. shane> And to think, we're just about to roll out a new Whois server! :) Heh. -- Bruce Campbell <[email protected]> +61-7-3367-0490 Systems Administrator Regional Internet Registry Asia Pacific Network Information Centre For the Asia Pacific Region Unix means never having to live hand-to-mouse.
