Christopher, I suspect the "route" objects that one would typically register in the RADB or other routing registries is generally a small subset of the "networks" one would register in their rwhois server. The route objects should consist of only those prefixes which are announced via BGP and not the more specifics which are assigned to customers (but not announced by them). You would need to somehow tag those network prefixes which correspond to announced routes and also devise a mechanism to specify the origin AS (a required field in the RPSL route object). If you'd like to discuss this further, I'd suggest we move this to db-admin@radb.net rather than spending additional NANOG bandwidth on it (and if there is any other interest out there, please feel free to let us know at this address as well).

Hello,

On the RADB site, under features and benefits, the service claims to mirror "more than 30 other IRR databases."

My challenge is that I need to list my information with RADB and don't want to go through the hassle of manually submitting every subnet owner and first-born when I can put a RWHOIS server up for ARIN. RADB should just poll my RWHOIS server.

Thank you in advance for your advice.
