When I started working at CentralNic, I found it was little more than a Perl script hanging off inetd. I replaced it with an Apache-style preforked daemon (still written in Perl) that cached database handles and the like, with the intent that this was a proof of concept for a C++ version. As is typical, the Perl worked well enough that it didn't get rewritten :) [...] > Searching Google does not seem to produce a variety of whois/rwhois > server software.
