[lug] Bulk whois

If you had a text file (let's call it doms.txt) with one domain per line,
you could do something like:

for i in `cat doms.txt`
do
   whois $i
done


If you need per-registry info though, it'll be a little more involved.
You'll have to do the initial whois with Network Solutions' whois server
then look for the line:

Whois Server: whois.someregistry.com

Then you'll need do do a whois against the whois.someregistry.com server.
Perl would be ideal for this.

Hope that helps.
