The local one is needed because we are a non-profit Internet provider in NC. We have 8K+ IP addresses allocated to us and when we run low on IP space ARIN requires us to have a whois server documenting the IPs we've allocated and to whom they are allocated. I appreciate all the replies, I'm going to try to package the latest rwhoisd in an RPM (for management's sake). If that gets to be too time consuming, I'll compile from source directly. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
