[afnog] Need Whois server

[dosfrk at opt.bj]

Thank everyone,
I'm actually building our nic website http://www.nic.bj 
to provide information about .bj with an online whoisclient to query 
.bj domains
I think that i have to install first a whois server and after a web whois 
client .
I'll try both solutions (ripe or openreg) and give you results!

Kind regards
