Running 'Whois' behind proxy

Linux command 'whois' allows for retrieving data about particular domain age. Unfortunately, there is a limit on the number of operations that can be performed. I was wondering if it is possible to use different IP addresses via Crawlera. Is there any solution?

'whois' runs on TCP protocol, Crawlera is an HTTP proxy so it's not going to work. You can:

A) Use something like http://whois.domaintools.com/ or any other HTTP 'whois' service and scrape the results

B) Use a SOCKS proxy.
