WARNING: Whois mining operation (probably spam related).

Starting about 6am eastern time, we began getting several hundred hits per second from IP address 195.188.22.6 to our WHOIS server. It appears that they were running a rather well endowed dictionary against the database. Beware - these are spammers (I know the address very well). Check your logs if you have any email servers or whois databases. This is a jerk from England who is a known fraudster.
