As I understand it from your post, Nominet will be enforcing a 1000 per 24 hour period from each IP?, but this limit can't be active yet as I have queried the WHOIS with 30,000 domains at 1/second quite a few times.
No other limits. It's 1000 on the WHOIS1 from 31st January 2006 and 10,000 on the WHOIS2 from the same date for those wishing to run a WHOIS proxy. However until then, add another zero to both values and those are the respective limits for each service.
