On my site I use a PHP script that calls fwhois and feeds the results back
to the user.

You can check it out at http://www.2guyshosting.com/lookup.php and see if

If you like it, I'd be happy to share the source with you or the
list. However, keep a couple of things in mind -- one, fwhois is a
Unix/Linux command; this won't work without changes on an IIS server. Two,
this kind of an input (essentially being the argument to a console
command) can be pretty insecure. I've been relatively careful with it, but
your mileage may vary.
