Whois info is available, but not in quantity. It appears that InterNIC
will cut connections after dumping too much data out from the same host in
"X" period of time. I have not 100% confirmed this, but tests seem to show
it.
They announced it in Tampa. They said they were limiting
connections in X period of time because of spam idiots/domain
speculators, etc. etc. Generally, abuse.
