Yeah, unfortunatly we arent a registrar. We just host a lot of domains, and
use enlighten as our registrar. Just trying to query for the billeduntil
date - it's a legitimate purpose - we are just trying to build ourselves a
notification system to warn us when domains are due to expire etc.
I'll try contact nzrs
Cheers

I've been doing whois lookups against whois.srs.net.nz for a few domains we host at work, mainly to look at the billed until date. However, small problem.. query 10 domains and suddenly they block you.
If you're a registrar it's recommended you use the XML api to the SRS for queries like this. The folks at NZRS (www.nzrs.net.nz) might be able to tweak their whois blacklisting if that's not an option for you. Sam.
