I don't think I'm blacklisted. It seems that there is (or was) a problem with 
whois service. Two identical requests from 193.0.227.234, but replies are 
different:

# whois -r AS43668
% This is the RIPE Database query service.
% The objects are in RPSL format.

% The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions.
% See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf

% Note: this output has been filtered.
%       To receive output for a database update, use the "-B" flag.

% Information related to 'AS43008 - AS44031'

as-block:       AS43008 - AS44031
[...]
% This query was served by the RIPE Database Query Service version 1.19.5 (WHOIS2)

%ERROR:101: no entries found

% No entries found in source RIPE.

And right now the problem has dissapeared.
