[db-wg] RE: Hierarchical authorisation failed, request forwarded to maint aine r ???

Hi Harald,

The database checks for matching and less specific routes first.
If such a route exists (that's the case here), mnt-routes is required
in this route object. And the mntners in the inetnum are being ignored.

There was a lenghty discussion about the reasons of this procedure.
I don't find that appropriate but maybe others can summarize why not to
check the inetnum first.

The outcome for me is, that whenever you want to give mnt-routes to
somebody else, only do it in a route with your own AS as origin, but 
that's not applicable for PI.

Regards Karsten
