Hi,
When processing whois requests from whois servers, many are exiting with a "limit exceeded" message. This time limit can be 15 minutes for one server and 24 hours on another server. So to defeat this, I'm thinking VPN.
Does anyone know of a way to change the vpn server address and connection in the middle of VFP code execution in reaction to find a "exceeded limit" text within the results?
Once a whois result comes in, we search its text for "exceeded text string" and mark it as limit exceeded and parse it for the registrar's id and name, then reprocess it once all of the inner loops has completed. I will also probably create a table for the registrars for their specific limits and use its data for future lookups.
Thanks,
Stanley
