David,

If the data resides in the central repository then why not run a whois service
there. If you want to distribute it via (r)whois referals have to at least be
centralized. the current rwhois implementation is lacking in several aspects
and IMHO shouldn't be used till it is more robust. Infact most of the
rwhois stuff does not get updated nearly as much as the whois database,
which is on a 24 hour cycle.
