Have you seen the Internet Draft "draft-ietf-wnils-whois-01.txt",
aka "Architecture of the Whois++ Index Service" ? ...

  This document details a distributed, easily maintained architecture for
  providing a unified index to a large number of distributed WHOIS++
  servers. This architecture can be used with systems other than WHOIS++ to
  provide a distributed directory service which is also searchable.
