Re: ROVER routing security - its not enumeration

routing protection without enumeration.
I can see a use-case for something like:
  "Build me a prefix list from the RIR data"
this requires a full data fetch, not doable in dns.
does it? shane implied (and it doesn't seem UNREASONABLE, modulo some
'doing lots of spare queries') to query for each filter entry at
filter creation time, no?

what is the query set, every prefix /7-/24 for the whole fracking ABC
space?

that could be optimized I bet, but it SEEMS doable, cumbersome, but
doable.  the 'fail open' answer also seems a bit rough in this case
(but no worse than 'download irr, upload to router, win!' which is
today's model).

irr, i do have the 'full' set.  but you said RIR (the in-addr roots),
not IRR.  was it a mis-type?

and i am not gonna put my origin data in the irr and the dns.
