If you'd like to limit the amount of queries an individual/company can do, you may want to use the database itself for some sort of constraint.
Let us say that a user from 2001:7b8:3:32:202:b3ff:fe2a:1e2d wants to look something up. You can check its most specific inet6num which would be NL-BIT1-PN1-POP3 and account queries per timeinterval per inet6num and limit that.
That seems a bit complicated. Why not just limit per /64 or /48? Aside, how important is this for privacy anyway, given the fact that the whole database is also available via FTP? -- Hroi
