Thanks for your report. This will be fixed in RHEL 5. A RHEL update containing an updated list would be very likely already obsolete by the time it gets thoroughly tested and issued as a part of an RHEL update release. The upstream configuration file available at http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/jwhois/jwhois/example/jwhois.conf?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain contains updated data about the .bg whois servers, you can use it instead of /etc/jwhois.conf shipped in the RHEL jwhois package.
