I need to lookup 30,000 to 40,000 whois records per day.

All Whois services that I know limit the number of whois queries you
can do per day to quite a small volume.

What is the cheapest service for me to do 30,000 to 40,000 whois lookups per day?

Hi,

I don't believe that information is what we need.  I think that
servicde only lets you download the zone file which lists all domains
in that zone (i.e. .com,.net,.org)

We need to be able to get the standard whois data including registrant
name, contact etc.

Thanks

"Bulk access to whois data, including domain objects, is available
under an acceptable use policy (AUP), which restricts the uses to
which whois data may be applied. Requestors must sign the AUP
agreement, which is available at
http://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/apnic-whois-agreement.pdf"

Will this work for your needs?

How about this? (Application)

I don't know where the limit may be restricted. I am merely a
commenter, and not a GA researcher.
