Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is there available software available to download the complete whois DBs of ARIN/RIPE/APNIC/LACNIC/AFRINIC and have it available offline for whois lookups?

Except for 'person' records, you can download them at: RIPE: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ ftp://ftp.ripe.net/${rir}/dbase/ APNIC: ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/whois-data/APNIC/ ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/whois-data/${rir}/ and ARIN/LACNIC/AFRINIC have similar dirs on their FTP server. eg: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.aut-num.gz Contains all ASN's. But you can also download them all in one chunk, depending on what you need. Greets, Jeroen
