Hi Bill,

The new 2.0 whois server runs now on port 4444. People might want to give it a try before we put it in production.
(The new database distribution will include a whois version that supports the selection of the port)
It might be better if you were to get an actual assigned port number for your production code. That would slow down the port hopping that you are doing now.
I thought we already have one: port 43 for whois services. We will put the production code on port 43 as soon as the code looks stable for a while. Please correct me if I missed your point. David K.
