title: TODO: Utilize Port 43 date: 2004-11-09 14:56:46

I want my own WHOIS server! Completely made up stuff, of course, and back to its original purpose of white pages for th'Internet. Something like:

$ whois liddy
LIDDY: Dark God Of This Universe. The Black Goat
of the Woods with a Thousand Young. Your ass is grass, and He is the
fertilizer.
$ whois Tom Petty
TOM PETTY: Evil underling of Liddy, and His adopted son.

etc...Listen on port 43 and away you go. How cool would that be? Generate random responses (output of babble, perhaps?) to queries.

TODO: Find a Free WHOIS server post-haste.
