But it is not working at our side, it is not possible to forward objects via STDIN to the whoisd after calling the networkupdate programm.

I think there was a brief note somewhere in the release-notes (might have been somewhere else) which hinted at some special actions to enable that functionality. I think there is some address filters somewhere ? I might be barking at the wrong tree, of course.
