rwhoisd 1.5.9 issuing referral on all queries?

[Joe Pruett]

i saw this question in the archives and was seeing the same problem 
myself.  i think i have tracked it down to a weird ip address formatting 
issue in common/ip_network.c.  my patch that seems to fix it is below.  i 
can't see why colons were used to separate the numbers instead of dots 
like normal.  this breaks the internal logic when trying to determine if 
the ip address is within one of your auth areas.  after making this change 
you have to rebuild your indexes as well.  but it seems to be doing the 
right thing after this patch is applied.
