Not this again .... no matter how many times it's repeated it will 
always remain utter nonsense as a justification/use/need for rds....

WHOIS/RDS is *NOT* in anyway necessary for the 'functioning' of the 
internet, it is not how dns works, it is not how nameservers are found, 
it is not used at all in determining the authoritive nameservers.

IP to Domain, Domain to IP resolving will work just fine exactly as it 
does now if whois was just 'turned off' because it does not use whois.
