[ixpmanager] IRRDB back-end not working

[Kyle Spencer]

I have 30 networks connected to the IXP and the artisan script says
they are all 0 prefixes. Even, for example, SEACOM:

SEACOM: [IPv4: 0 total; 0 stale; 0 new; DB updated] [IPv6: 0 total; 0
stale; 0 new; DB updated]
    Customer not a RS client or IRRDB filtered. Prefixes, if any,
wiped from database.

But if I run:

bgpq3 -h whois.radb.net -S AFRINIC -l pl -j AS37100

I get:

{ "pl": [
    { "prefix": "41.87.96.0\/19", "exact": true },
    { "prefix": "41.206.96.0\/19", "exact": true },
    { "prefix": "41.217.212.0\/22", "exact": true },
    { "prefix": "105.16.0.0\/12", "exact": true }
] }
