One of our consortium members uses Whats Up.  It bounces requests of so
many of our servers so often that it's passing the nuisance level and has
"Denial of Service" ahead on the horizon.  Moral of the story: if you use
any tool like this against servers other than your own, get permission
ahead of time.
