Is there any way of determining which routes ANS are filtering out
(other than noticing customer X can't reach you all of a sudden),
or trying to filter out as is the case currently.

How about a daily mailing which would encourage people to register
routes in the appropriate IRR as well as allow us to preempt our
slower learning BGP downstreams into warning them they are about to
have a problem when they start using a new block they haven't registered
a routing policy (yep, they *should* know this by now).

Or a web site. Even if it just does the equivalent of the Digex l/g.

Your NOC are normally v. helpful, but I'm sure it would save you
some man hours.
