ARIN appears to offer such a service: https://www.arin.net/resources
/restful-interfaces.html.
Otherwise there are services that offer such a thing appear to be based on
volume. For example this http://www.whoisxmlapi.com/ gives you for free
the first 500 queries.
If we were to go for the later we would definitely need to store them
somewhere.
I would first try and see how much data we can get out with the ARIN API
and if we are breaching their TOS by doing one query per user.
If there are issues then we need to come up with something that stores the
result of the queries, or at least caches them if we are interested in
having such feature.
