Anyone know what's up with the whois server?

Tried from 3 hosts and also dnc.org.nz , all result in a request denied for any domain I query.

query_datetime: 2007-11-12T12:50:44+13:00 domain_name: unix.co.nz query_status: 440 Request Denied

I cannot see any planned work and "There are no known problems, the WHOIS server is on-line." - http://www.nzrs.net.nz/notices/index.shtml

Ok from here - are you running lots of queries from a script? You've probably been blocked. http://dnc.org.nz/content/*whois*.pdf <-- Section 6
