Do you plan on implementing remote registration?

With a good 'ol rWHOIS server, you can allow remote machines (or
localhost) to perform whois registration/editing/deletion.
It might be up your alley, but I haven't devoted enough time to
configuring one to really tell you about it.

How does your current implementation work? Does it retrieve the query
from SQL?
