RE: How Change route object origin entry

Kevin,
This just happened to me!
My problem was that mnt-by of the /20 inetnum object was RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT.
For you to be able to change the /20 route object, you need to tell RIPE
to add mnt-routes: YOUR_MNT into the /20 inetnum object.
It took me 2/3 weeks to do this with the hostmaster's help.
Regards,
Duncan
