Are you being BGP'ed blackholed?  Like, one of their routers is lying about
a route it owns?

It takes a lot of affort to solve this problem, especially those
who need to update their router through rrdb automatically.  Which
suppose to solve blackhole problem accidentally.

Could you please explain the issue more specifically.  "Blackhole" could
have many meanings.
