MD5-PW auth scheme is available in the RIPE Database

Dear Sabri Berisha,

This happened because your client only yesterday made about 15000 
queries for various IP numbers collecting contact information. This 
resulted in automatic blocking of that client. Please contact the 
Database Administration ripe-dbm at ripe.net to discuss your application.

Regards,

Andrei Robachevsky
DB Group Manager
