This company is dual-homed and would like to announce 4x /24 prefixes to both ISPs. Both ISP's update their prefix-lists automatically based on records in RIPE database. For example Level3 uses this practice at least in Europe. If this small company creates a "route" object for it's /22 allocation, then is it enough? Theoretically this would cover all four /24 networks. Or in which situation it is useful/needed to have "route" object for each /24 prefix?You should create a route object for each route that you announce, if you announce 4 x /24 you should create a route: object for each /24.

ps. Can you please send 20 dollarcent per /24 to my paypal account (job () instituut net) with the reference "deaggregation fee"?
Indeed. Martin, I'd suggest announcing the 4 x /24s to each ISP tagged with the no-export community in order to achieve whatever you are trying to do, *in addition* to the covering /22. That way you're not polluting Job, my, and everyone else's routing tables more than necessary, only your own ISPs', but then again you're actually paying them for the privilege. Tore
