I find whois.domaintools.com to be the best overall site for general domain inquiries. It works for both IP addresses and domain names via whois.domaintools.com/example.com.

The thumbnails are very helpful as well as the text browser. Besides the standard registration info, it has SSL info, Alexa rank, summary, etc. It's not really designed for security use, but rather as a tool for domain registrars. That actually makes it really helpful because instead of a thumbs up/thumbs down, you get the nitty-gritty details, which I find far more helpful (especially when it's a new domain).

In general, I use www.robtex.com for lookups. You can search RBL there as well (http://www.robtex.com/rbl/).

http://jaalcheck.com/ is also useful at times.

I don't have a pointer to a web tool or quick link on this, but I find the creation date of a domain to be useful in telling the rep of a site. It's not helpful for established names, but one really needs to question any domain that has been created in the last week.
Most of the malware/phishing/malicious sites don't exist for long either, so this is useful info.

SmartFilter/SecureComputing provides this site to check as well.

Christopher, it'd be pretty easy to clone the above search plugin to use WOT instead.

Actually, I hope to pull together a bunch of similar services into a meta-search engine. Given the spotty coverage each individual site seems to have, aggregation should be quite useful.

WOT (http://www.mywot.com) - Web Of Trust

They rely mostly on user-submitted data (through their firefox plugin).

The search URL is as follows:

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/{DOMAIN-NAME}
