Distributed lookup of *what*, though? Can you clarify that part of
your
idea? Are you referring to distributed whois queries for a domain
name, to
determine its age?
Yes. Because whois data is hard to get and many whois servers limit
lookups, distributing and sharing the lookup load to determine age of
domains IMO has merit.
Ah, I think there's still two different assumptions occurring in this
discussion: newly-seen (David and Patrick) vs. newly-registered (me
and Kevin)...
Maybe we need to clarify that first.
Good clarification. The spam I envision stopping is spammers using
things like stolen credit cards or trial accounts to register domains
that they then spam and then disappear quite quickly.
So this builds a database of domain whois data (initial discussions
focused on the creation date) using distributed SA nodes to build the data.
And I chose to discuss it here because I get more ideas than I have time
and resources to implement.
