6/25    how do you do this w/ a shell "foreach" or equiv?:
        for ($i=0;$i<127;$i++) {
          print "$i: ",`whois -h http://whois.arin.net ${i}.0.0.0 | head -1`;
        }
        \_ csh: --jsjacob
        % @ n=0
        % while ($n < 127)
        while? echo "${n}: `whois -h http://whois.arin.net ${n}.0.0.0 | head -1`"
        while? @ n++
        while? end
        \_ sh: -- schoen
        $ N=1; while [ $N -lt 127 ]
        > do echo "$N, `whois -h http://whois.arin.net $N.0.0.0 | head -1`"
        > N=`expr $N + 1`
        > done
          \_ However, there is a limit on the query rate in practice, which
             makes this not work quite right.
             \_ A 5 second delay is sufficient
          \_ Aren't there others besides http://whois.arin.net?  Can't you do
             host ${n}.0.0.0 | head -l
             \_ it's head -1, not head -l!
             \_ It's not finding a host in DNS, it's finding a network in whois
             \_ Use whois.nic.mil instead. Faster server.

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.

        that I can't expect a MySQL port to be able to run effectively
        on more than a two CPU box, he says that the extra CPUs will
        sit there unused. Is this true? I have a bunch of new quad core

        a user fill out a form and then e-mailing the user a randomly

        is used to do this? I'd like to distribute software in such a way.

ARIN WHOIS Help Search for : Submit ARIN's WHOIS service provides a mechanism for finding contact and registration information for resources registered with ARIN. ARIN's database contains IP addresses, autonomous system (AS) numbers, organizations or customers that are associated with these resources, and related Points of Contact (POCs). ARIN's WHOIS will NOT locate any domain-related information, or any information relating to military networks. Many of these flags can be combined to indicate the desired output. Flags must be separated from each other and from the search term by a space. Your results will vary depending on the refinements you apply in your search. Query-by-record-type: To limit your query to a specific record type, include one of the following flags: n Network address space a Autonomous systems p Points of Contact o Organizations c End-user customers Query-by-attribute: To limit your query to a specific record attribute, include one of the following flags: @ <domain name> Searches for matches by the domain-portion of an e-mail address ! Searches that retrieve more than one record will be displayed in list output. Display flags: To modify the way that the query results display, include one of the following flags: + Shows detailed (aka 'full' output) display for EACH match - Shows summary only (aka 'list' output), even if single match returned The + flag cannot be used with the sub-query feature described below. Record hierarchy: Records in the ARIN WHOIS database have hierarchical relationship with other records. To display those related records, use the following flags: < Displays the record related up the hierarchy. For a network, display the supernet, or parent network in detailed (full) format. For a network, display the subdelegation, or subnets, below the network, in summary (list) format. For an organization or customer, display the resource registered to that organization or customer, in summary (list) format. This feature is only supported as a trailing character option. To take advantage of this append the query with an asterisk . This can also be used in combination with any flags defined above. Other helpful hints: To guarantee matching only a single record, look it up by its handle using a handle-only search. In the record summary line, the handle is shown in parentheses after the name. When using a handle to conduct a search for POC information, be sure to add the -ARIN extension. Queries that return more than 256 results will stop displaying data after the 256th result. You may want to narrow your search criteria or add flags to your query to limit the results. To search on an individual's name, you may enter the last name, or to further restrict results, use the last name and first name, separated by a comma.
