Would it be possible to build a cache of the results for each query to be reused? I wrote a tool that resolves IPs to the organization names to give a visual representation (word cloud) of what organizations the TCP connections going through a firewall are connected to. The same IP blocks get used often so if this info were cached it would improve the speed that the whois tool could resolve a thousand "similar" searches rather than having to query for each lookup.

In my lookup I re-use the same instance rather than creating a new one for each lookup. If you could someone make this permenant for some amount of time that would be even better because when I refresh the page again it would not need to rebuild the cache. Some timeout would be ok but just having the info cached would help in resolving all the IP addresses that belong to a signle organization.
