I'm replying to my own post because my comment makes me look like a moron.<br>
<br>
I was wondering if the complaint was about abuse of whois servers or web based services.<br><font color="#888888">

From what I was able to tell, the large amount of request to whois server where just that, lookups on a whois server. Yet, they take up a very small portion of the overall network traffic that moved through my node.</div>
