So there is merit in building a distributed look-up system using SA.
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.
I'm doing age based on registered, and doing whois lookups based on
newly seen (there is no point in doing a new lookup if I already did
one last year, I know the domain exists).
