This implementation is really mine and it's a gateway to an underlying
X.500 Directory Service.

     I've found kth's implementation has a mechanism for centroid
     propergation. But others don't seem to have that mechanism. Do they
     use DB system to change data and centroid propergation?

I don't support centroids since it is too difficult to do a complete
implementation when you are constrained by another system that doesn't
map into whois++ cleanly. I would attempt to do a partial
implementation but unless whois++ supported "maybe" style responses
this would be too confusing for the user.

The data management of my system is handled by X.500 and so the
whois++ server is only a readonly interface onto the data.

Mark.
