This patch adds an argument `get_recursive` to `lookup_whois()`. The argument default is True, which causes no change to the behavior. If the user passes `get_recursive=False`, and the IP is allocated to RIPE, this causes the `-r` flag to be included in the query string. The `-r` flag asks RIPE WHOIS servers not to perform recursive queries, such as for related "person" or "role" objects. This helps users avoid IP blacklisting by RIPE. The `-r` flag is only supported by RIPE, so this patch only affects queries to RIPE servers.

This patch adds an argument
get_recursivetolookup_whois(). Theargument default is True, which causes no change to the behavior. If
the user passes
get_recursive=False, and the IP is allocated toRIPE, this causes the
-rflag to be included in the query string.The
-rflag asks RIPE WHOIS servers not to perform recursivequeries, such as for related "person" or "role" objects. This helps
users avoid IP blacklisting by RIPE.
The
-rflag is only supported by RIPE, so this patch only affectsqueries to RIPE servers.
