query limit on whois by arin.net?

[Free WordPress Themes]

Hi,

I need to write a script that will query the arin whois database once a day for 50-100 IP addresses.

is this OK and not abusing the arin database?

they say for wildcard queries:

Queries that return more than 256 results will stop displaying data after the
256th result. You may want to narrow your search criteria or add flags to your
query to limit the results.

I think it looks fine, but you can't really know until you try it

yeah right
what if arin will block the servers IP address is there a problem (does the server need the arin database for other functions)

I don't think this will happen. ARIN has this database for the people who want it.

I hope that someone knows an answer on this question (because I can't find an answer somewhere else)

if I query whois.arin.net for some IP address I get different results based on the "owner" information
all of them have the information "role" which is followed by the address from the provider who holds the IP address range.

there is also information about the "person", and here is my question: is this information about a single person AND also companies?

I know that this is not very "privacy like", but is this information (if available) the information about the IP address owner?
