More outgoing IP's on one server

I have a big whois-server list, and I've been tampering around with it to create a PHP domain lookup to see wether a domain has been registered or not. This has worked, however I experience a problem.

Once 2 users check a domain at the same time (not necessarily same domain, but same extension), I get a timeout error from the whois server, stating I can only do one query per second for example. This of course is registered to my outgoing IP.

Is there a way, to have more outgoing IP's on one server with DA? It's ok if this means I'd have to add some separate users, as long as the outgoing IP is different.

I wonder if this is possible with just one server. I can request more IP's if required, I have 2 at the moment.
 
It's doable. However it's port dependent; it requires separate destination ports to be routed separately. It's not trivial, at least not for me :) .

We'd hire a linux networking specialist if we needed something like that.

Note that breaking the rules may not be a good idea; you're probably violating the TOS of the whois provider. In some jurisdictions that could even be a criminal offense.

(It probably is, in the U.S.)

hmm good point about the TOS, I never thought of that.

Do you have an idea about how bigger companies handle these bulk domaincheckups?
