15281	Arin whois link is borked	nacin		"http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=72.233.56.138

I am tempted to propose an api.wordpress.org service, that way these links will never break, but more importantly because arin.net is one of like 7 services based on global regions, and requesting an Asian IP through arin.net doesn't work.

An IP/geo lookup in core would be prohibitive, but if we still want to keep a link (beyond the IP), then we could do this.

On the other hand, IP addresses are becoming less meaningful. Should we just kill the link?"	defect (bug)	new	lowest	Future Release	Mail		normal		has-patch	martinhh@…
