I have the same thing happening and it's almost certainly because one of the central whois servers has blocked you for too many queries. I suspect it's Verisign's .com server that is being touchy as I can get names lik



I haven't yet found out a way to remove myself from the block list but am working on it and would appreciate hearing anything you find out!



To test this, try a whois of flabbalabbaz.info - you'll get an immediate response; then try a whois of flabbalabbaz.com or .net - you'll time out.



The most usual cause of getting blacklisted is too many queries from some sort of automated system. We have a whois script built into one of our helpdesk operators' tools, but it doesn't actually issue many requests so I'm rather disappointed they've seen fit to block us for what would only have been a relatively small number of queries.
