I am currently writing a 3 tier client-server whois package at www.dnso.net/projects. At the moment, only the client works. It is based on the whois.c code from Richard Sexton <[email protected]>. The new code is a virtual re-write and will include a whois application server as well as a whoisd server. The back-end is intended to be SQL92 and the source release will include the schema DDL. It's a pretty big project and I could use some help. Release will be open-source GPL, of course. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > Greg A.
