NANOGers,

Can someone please point me in the direction of an rwhoisd solution to
be run on a CentOS Linux platform? ARIN is now punting rwhois queries
to us and frankly i've been unable to find an easy to install/use
solution to answer these queries. I've seen the rwhoisd at
projects.arin.net but the documentation on it is ghastly to say the
least.

Hopefully someone knows of an easier solution or at least a tutorial somewhere?

If you happen to find one I'd like to know about it as well...

Gregory,

So far i've received a few replies, one of them containing something
of a tutorial. If it works i'll post my adaptation of it on the web
for all to reference.

Thanks, Jeff

I used this guide and it worked quite well. The writer was using FreeBSD but I installed onto Ubuntu and ran into little to no issues.

If you use IPPlan to manage your IP allocations, it comes with a whois
daemon that'll automagically use the information from your IPPlan sql
database.

Do you have a link to the information on how to get that setup?
