[ixpmanager] IRRDB filtering with LACNIC's IRR

[Barry O'Donovan]

Just to close the loop on this (and digging into the deep recesses of my 
foggy memory):

When we switched from irrtoolset (which was ran via a script outside IXP 
Manager's main code base) to bgpq3, there were some compatibility issues 
with some whois databases (I think RIPE in particular - disclaimer as a 
above, this was a long time ago). In any case, while the code allows the 
host to be set, at the time it didn't work somewhere along the chain so 
we just defaulted to the bgpq3 defaults.

I.e. the host as set in IXP Manager UI is definitely not used.

I've opened an issue for this:

https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/issues/678

In the meantime, a workaround like Luiz suggests will be required.
