I want to add a rate-limiting feature to jwhois so that if we try to issue a request to a whois provider that exceeds their query rate it will get rejected with a suitable message. I have a scheme to do this that uses memcached to hold the rate counters, so this can be done network wide where multiple hosts are querying out of one IP address. Before cutting the code I would like to get in touch with the upstream developer(s). I have looked at the JWHOIS web page and there is a bug-jwhois address but not other contact details. Does anybody have any upstream contact I should use. Also, does anybody know of anyone who has done this elsewhere and if the code is available already. I do not like reinventing the wheel as the patent has already been taken.
