6bone whois database

[Cleve Mickles]

Is anyone having problems downloading the whois 
database?  My cron job hasn't been able to
get in over the last few days.

Also, have we considered cleaning up the database?
There are a number of hosts that are referenced
from companies that no longer exist and hence
the various pingers out there including ours
just mark the hosts as unknown.
