Cache refresh disabled to avoid rate-limiting of whois servers

[refresh cache]

$ whois NET-3-128-0-0-1@whois.arin.net

[whois.arin.net]
ERROR 503: Unable to service request due to high volume.

hmmm interesting....

in the end, although it would go to /dev/nul for amazonaws, it can't find an owner now...

No reporting addresses found for 3.208.7.29, using devnull for tracking.

Yeah, I am not sure if there is someone that has the ability to fix these cache entries.  It is a tragedy now that we are here, but at the same time it is at least populating the blacklist.

Oooh! This last part means that RIPE is blocking ironport/SpamCop/Cisco from accessing their Whois database...

now that’s bad.

I just checked both yours and mine and they come back.   I am not sure how long it takes for the cached whois to expire.  Seeing the owner, I am not surprised about the /dev/null.
