Access to the database is up to Chris, since it resides on his machine
and he's responsible for its design and maintenance. It might be that
an API is more appropriate than direct access.
We had discussed adding additional attributes to the DB to hold whois
information so that the portal could be used to edit the info, but
that hasn't been done because we never came up with a spec for those
attributes. It's complicated by the fact that we have about 60 directly
routed subnets and about 475 tunneled, all of which need to be in the
rwhois DB. If you could work with Chris on that as his time permits,
it would be good.
Negotiating with ARIN has been complicated in the past because
we have to be very careful not to endanger our legacy status.

If you can allow the 44.4.64.10 IP SQL access to your db so that I
can write the software that can translate whats in the DB into rwhois
records that will allow me to populate the server. It doesn't need to
reside on the amprgw server for that access.

We also need you to add a referral whois entry for the 44/8 block to
point to the rwhois server so that anyone who does a whois will
ultimately get forwarded to the server to resolve the request.
