Hi, Arnd, comments followed.

There is always a situation where the standard one need to synchronize with the one with private objects but need to filter out private objects (like RADB mirror from RIPE ). Then internally RIPE NCC will need to mirror the data with IRT to keep the data integrity. > Only standard objects gets exported to the standard-objects > DB.

The problem is the serial number will increase when you update a private object then when other mirrors get only the standard object the serial number mismatched each other. As regarding to the PERSON object, this is a situation for STANDARD mirroring STANDARD but needs to filter it out also. > > This has also the advantage you dont mix ip-management only data with > routing-registry > relevant data.

And it is a disadvantage for us constantly trying to merge both data together. One thing is RIPE-DB cross-checking between the inetnum object (IP-Management) and the route (routing) object makes it very consistent for the RIPE region. And I considered that an advantage rather than a disadvantage. PS. CW Europe is on a different AS number now but it will merge into AS3561 eventually. > This isnt an ideal solution but it works.
