We need a Whois server on a Linux Box to respond to outside queries for domain names. We currently run it in Windows but it is not very stable.
The Whois server needs to get data from a MS SQL database.
- We need to be able to set a limit to the number of queries per minute.
- We also need to be able to black list or white list certain IP addresses.
- We need to be able to show output text - easy to change or modify it.
