hello? for the past year all mail i sent to this mailing list has failed... i hope this one succeeds!!!
i guess, probably because i'm using korean windows which probably set's my encoding type korean for most stuff
has opensrs updated their mailing list software yet???
 
anyways searching for domains through openSRS is @#$@#$@# way to slow.
for some reason Domaindirect.com seems to search REAL fast. hmmmm.... maybe i should just query their site.
 
anyways i used to use a modified lookup routine to search for tv, com, net, org, uk domains all at the same time.
the problem is openSRS is waaaaaaaaaaay to slow. i timed simply using my watch how long OpenSRS lookups takes... it takes neary 6~9 seconds on average.
 
now... i created a newer lookup program... all based on whois lookup(except tv and realname.com domains)
for ideas... you can check it out at:(all in korean though, shouldn't be that hard how to figure out how to use it though)
 
i would like to start a "thread" on domain lookup methods as this would be helpful to many resellers
 
problems i thought of on whois lookups
1.) someone said that register.com was blocking lookups from opensrs... i haven't checked... anyone know more about this? -> this would be very bad
 
2.) i know for sure networksolutions blocks your ip if you query too much, i've seen another domain company blocked before -> this would be very bad if it happened
 
3.) often fails.... lotta of downs... -> don't know how to get around this but i do set a timeout when looking up
 
4.) unreliable for domains registered within 24 hours -> ok for opensrs domains if you use opensrs's whois
 
5.) can't search tv domains
 
6.) must redo through openSRS(or whereever) a "real" lookup when actually registering
 
any comments? how are others lookuping up domains?
how 'bout your experience with whois querying?
