Zorro67 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Please move to Tips tricks and how tos The AU WHOIS service is limited to 20 checks per hour and 200 per day Iif you have a couple of customers using domain search at one time (or even one vigourous client using the bulk domain checker), its pretty easy to get your server blacklisted for 24 hours In WHMCS, change the entries in the whoisservers.php file from .asn.au|whois.ausregistry.net.au|No Data Found to .asn.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|Not Available Obviously change the other .au listings as well This workaround is as yet untested (I'm still on blacklist) but was given to me by DistributeIT (well done boys) who know a thing or two about these things, and confirmed by AusRegistry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyMagic Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nice. Let us know how it goes once you are un-blacklisted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I just tested this and I can confirm that this does NOT work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austdata Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Odd, normally the DIT staff are spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well Mike, then you wont be disappointed. Over the weekend, i received no less than 4 email responses from one of their team, to try and resolve this. Considering they aren't traditionally a 24/7 firm, its hard to fualt them One of the reasons I stick with DIT (despite the fact that I could save $5 or $10 per dom. registration by changing) is their service. The solution which they've come up with, appears to work. Below is some code for the includes/whoiserververs.php code .asn.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available .com.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available .edu.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available .org.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available .net.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available .id.au|whois-check.ausregistry.net.au|---Available I've done 30 or 40 dom .au searches in an hour and haven't got banned yet Apparentlly, the extra dashes are the solution - go figure!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yes this appears to work ok for if the domain is available or not but it doesn't seem to yield to whois info at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austdata Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 In WHMCS, change the entries in the whoisservers.php file from ......... Zorro, Which directory is that file in? I was going to put it but only found whois.php, is that the one? The content didn't look right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro67 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 this works for any version 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austdata Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks for the help, works well for me. I wonder if it should include .info.au though? Weren't some of them issued? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yes, but not sure how many. Perhaps check with auda eg if there are only 25 still in use, why bother. however, if there are 2500, different kettle of fish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austdata Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 That's a good point, I'll let it go for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyRoAcIdK Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Team, This doesn't work. Apparently Google.com.au is available All domains are available. Has anyone else got a working solution, or contacted AusRegistry? Thank You 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hightekhosting Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We can confirm that the above code Sparky is using works! We've been using it for quite some time.

sparky Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (Didn't we provide that to you Sparky? Forgive me if I am wrong!) No... I actually got it from Zorro67 (Dan) in post #6 Not sure but I think he got it from DIT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyRoAcIdK Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Ok, The file I uploaded must have been corrupt, as I'm now getting the error that indicates a firewall issue. My client is going to speak to his host about it. Thanks Team Edited January 23, 2010 by PyRoAcIdK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
