[db-wg] Modifying the ACL for the whois server

Dear Group,

 

The whois server has a very good feature implemented in it that protects
it from any form of abuse by enforcing ACL points. Now because most of
our staff are not very familiar with the CLI whois client, we decided to
go for a web interface for querying the whois server. So we ran into the
problem of the web server's IP being blacklisted. I looked around the
configuration of the ACL but could not find any way to exclude such IPs
from the 'ACL points' system. We already have the proper protection from
any abuse on the web server. We are running the RIPE Whois server 3.0.2.
Is there any way to exclude certain IPs from being blacklisted?

 

Regards,

Marwan El-Sherif
