My list has 995 domains. Finished product includes: 1. File with all the whois information for ALL 995 domains 2. A script that will allow me to do this in the future Potential Issues: I've noticed that sometimes whois servers start to not respond fully if you make too many requests in a period of time. Your script needs to deal with this, or you must know of another mechanism to get this information. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) File of whois data for 995 domains. Platform: I would prefer an implementation in java or perl, but I am open. I will be running the script on linux.

The solution to the latency in response is to load balance. That means I will query multiple whois servers. If the load is distributed among multiple servers it will work fine. Kindly let me know if you are interested. Sincerely, -Aniruddh Panvalkar This bid was accepted by the buyer!
