[db-wg] IPv6 Whois update

Dear Marco,

This is a feature we supported, and we'll keep supporting it. It's a mistake 
on our side that we'll change promptly, so please don't change the behaviour. 
We'll make the proxy accept -V switches of these types.

Apologies for the inconvience caused by this.

Best Regards,
