Looking at the graph on your 3 slide, it looks like ARIN is getting around 3200 whois queries per second. How much of that query load is a result of non-port 43 queries (that is, making use of the REST features in the new server)? It looks like the exponentiation in query load started around the same time the Whois-RWS was deployed... Regards, -drc
