I do understand the added complexity, but in the big scheme of things would it be _that_more difficult to store a comma-delimited string or something that contains the prefixes that could be announced by that peer instead of the maximum-prefix?
Yes.
Yes, it generates more work to update the database, but OTOH it provides the LIII engineer with a lot more to troubleshoot issues. Is it simply not worth the work at your scale?
Exactly. And you do not have to be at 701's scale for this to not work.Process is a bitch. Especially when it involves other people over whom you no control.
And when that process involves customers calling to ask why they can't get to XXX web site (no pun intended - I'm sure no one would filter a pr0n site :), it is much more than "a bitch", it is a CLM/CEM.
