Enable logging and a Whois block showing previous lookups

Added watchdog logging in 6.x version.

If someone can take up with the above suggested feature, patches are welcomed anytime! :-)

The attached patch will store the data in the database and allow the admin to return a cached result over a specified time period. One issue is that the storage relies on the cache time, as the result will be stored every request if the cache time is set to 0.

I'm working on the block next, hope to have a separate patch tomorrow or Saturday. I'm working on this for a client project, so he's agreed to contribute the work back to the modules.

Forgot to attach the patch, sorry.

Thanks for this :)

Was the block part ever finished? :)

It seems the patch does not apply anymore, will try to reroll it

patch < whois_store_data.patch

A generic cache feature has been added in the meantime.

Even though a history list of past lookups seems cool I fail to see a business case for it.
Keeping an eye on the watchdog system would suffice for now...
