That sounds like a wonderful idea... but far too much work for it to be worth it. Maybe next year...

Oh it's simple really.

  $conn = fsockopen ('whois.verisign-grs.com', 43, $errno, $errstr, 1);
  fputs($conn, $domain."\r\n");
  while(!feof($conn)) 
	$output .= fgets($conn,128);
  $registrar = reset(explode("\n",end(explode('Registrar:',$output))));
Awesome! Thanks for this. I'll play with it over the weekend. Still working on the specifics.
You could make the source available and let some of us help contribute to make this possible.
